Health research requires more virtual
and remote digital health strategies than ever
COVID-19 has altered the world of healthcare and health research by rapidly shifting patients, researchers and participants into a digital environment for all facets of the healthcare landscape, from managing and treating health conditions to reaching and engaging patients and research participants. For health researchers spanning the spectrum of corporate to public sectors, launching and managing research projects in a heavily digital, COVID-19 ecosystem poses three key challenges:

Reach
the right people
Recruit and engage hard-to-reach populations at-a-distance

Collect better,
more diverse data
Gather higher quality data from digital sources, ranging from mobile phones to wearables

Generate
actionable insights
Make use of the complex social, behavioral and biological data you collect
For many researchers, this means spending lots of time finding and managing a complex network of multiple technology vendors to do it all. That’s a big challenge. But for researchers who use a single, established digital health delivery platform that can tackle all of these challenges, it presents opportunity.
