The Scope of Things

In this month’s episode of the Scope of Things, host Deborah Borfitz catches listeners up with the latest news of the clinical trials and research industry, starting with SCOPE 2024, where a record-breaking 4,000 attendees arrived to learn and discuss about new products, technology, and ideas. Other hot topics in this episode include convergence of clinical research and clinical care, patient centricity, protocol complexity, the growing use of AI, and an update on decentralized clinical trials.
