Decentralized trials didn’t eliminate sites. They turn healthcare into the site and
quietly outsource operations to patients and clinicians. Telehealth has become an
essential tool in the decentralized trial ecosystem, supporting remote enrollment,
treatment monitoring, and measurements that previously required the patient to travel
to a site. Now AI arrives as the accelerant: protocol-to-workflow automation, consent-to-engagement
personalization, and agentic paperwork engines that could make “trial operations”
look more like software than staffing. This talk confronts what we have gained, what
we have lost, and what we’re about to break—unless telehealth and clinical teams help
actively shape the emerging AI-enabled trial ecosystem. |
