The topic of the call is “Next Generation Digital Technologies for Remote Decentralised Clinical Trials (RDCTs)”. RDCTs represent a novel approach to operational clinical trials, which will move the key research activities away from typical clinical trial sites (e.g. hospitals and clinics) and closer to the study participant, for example via the use of home health nursing or telemedicine solutions. The proposal(s) submitted to call 3 should deliver Next Generation Digital Technologies for RDCTs, that complement to or extent on the technology scan activity of the running IMI JU project “Trials@Home” that will identify barriers, enablers and data management for the RDCTs. The selected pre-competitive RIA project(s) resulting from ECSEL Call 3 should reinforce the European Medical Technology sector and promote the collaboration with the IMI stakeholders.
