This document is a brief scoping review outlining the problem of inadequate patient recruitment to clinical trials, and technologies that are currently being used for patient recruitment worldwide, with a focus of the landscape of technologies being utilised in Australia.
This document is intended to be a pre-reading for the Exploring Technologies to Improve Recruitment Online Workshop which will be held on Friday, 21 October 2022, 2:00 – 4:30 pm AEDT, and will be facilitated by Prof Nik Zeps.
We hope to ensure comprehensive coverage of existing and new technologies being used for patient recruitment in Australia, prior to the workshop.
