Retention and Compliance Solutions

InTouch Clinical

For the majority of patients participating in a clinical trial it is never their intention to be wilfully non-compliant – life just gets in the way!

The statistics are concerning. Patient non-compliance can run as high as 80% and over 40% of patients are typically lost to follow up in a clinical trial. Failing to retain these patients has an enormous impact on cost, timelines and data quality.
