New Video Series Showcases Clinical Research Scientists, Technologists and a Patient Discussing "The Future of Patient Centricity in Clinical Research"

In a new video series from PHT Corporation scientists, technologists and a patient share expertise and questions about the future of patient-centric clinical research. PHT is the leading provider of technologies used to collect patient-driven eData for clinical research. The video series is ideal for professionals in clinical trial management and operations, data management, and procurement as well as for patients who want to better understand their crucial role in clinical research.

PHT recorded the videos at the PHT PRO & eCOA Congress, the premier educational event where the pharmaceutical industry advances the science and technologies of patient and clinician reported outcomes (PROs/ClinRO) and eClinical systems for clinical research that puts the patient first.

PHT Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Strategy Sheila Rocchio, MBA, explained, "Putting patients at the center of clinical research is a common discussion theme in industry conferences. These talks highlight the practical ways sponsors can take steps to make their research programs more patient-centric, helping to improve patient satisfaction and operational results."
