Mobile in Clinical Trials 2021 Reports on A New Era For Patient Connectivity Post Covid-19 from the Conference Forum


“COVID has been a catalyst for change, a driver of communities working together, and a showcase of what we can do when we push boundaries and experiment to get things done. The time is now…to keep pushing those boundaries to reimagine clinical trials.”

The Conference Forum announced the launch of the 8th annual Mobile in Clinical Trials conference to take place on September 27th, 2021 at the Westin Boston Seaport District in Boston, MA. This annual gathering of digital R&D leaders and technology companies will feature the latest examples of deploying fit-for-purpose devices in research and present fresh ideas to take patient connectivity to the next level.
