New survey reveals what drives trial participation, retention, and trust in wearables

Participant Attitudes on Remote Clinical Trial Participation

Patients Are Ready for Remote Trials — But Only If the Experience Is Right

As decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) become the norm, understanding what patients need to join—and stay enrolled—is critical.

Vivalink surveyed 200+ U.S. adults to uncover how people really feel about remote trials, wearable tech, and what makes them commit.

Here’s what participants told us:

  • 90% are open to fully remote trials
  • 52% are very likely to join one from home
  • Trust in technology matters — especially FDA clearance and tech support
  • User experience is the top factor in participant retention
