Scientific Research
Bringing research closer to real life — and real people.
Introduction
Clinical research is evolving. Traditional, site-based studies often struggle to reflect the complexity of real-world settings — where participants live, work, and recover. SwissDTx enables a new way of conducting studies: decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) that seamlessly combine digital and in-person participation. Researchers can deploy validated interventions, collect data remotely, and monitor outcomes continuously — all within a secure, compliant, and user-friendly platform.
By bridging the gap between science and daily life, SwissDTx helps transform how evidence is generated, analyzed, and translated into better care.
Common Challenges for Researchers
Running clinical research is demanding — and decentralized studies add new layers of complexity.
Researchers often face challenges such as:
- Recruitment and retention: Engaging and motivating participants across locations and time zones can be difficult.
- Data quality and adherence: Ensuring standardized data collection outside controlled environments is often a major barrier.
- Regulatory and privacy requirements: Managing consent, secure data transfer, and compliance with GDPR and Swiss data protection laws is time-consuming.
- Fragmented tools and workflows: Many research teams rely on separate systems for e-consent, data collection, and follow-up, increasing workload and error potential.
These hurdles slow down innovation and limit the potential of evidence-based healthcare.
