Real-time data guides personalized dosing

Participants wore devices that tracked heart rate, blood pressure, hormone levels and activity. Artificial-intelligence tools processed this information to adjust drug doses for each individual based on real-time metrics.

Virtual assistants explain results clearly

Interactive virtual health-care assistants provided participants with clear explanations of their personal results. These tools helped clean the collected data and supported the selection of the study cohort.

Remote trials reduce dropout rates

Prachi Desai states that empowering patients to conduct trials in their own communities improves data quality. This approach also lowers dropout rates and achieves cost savings for the research program.
