The R&D³ Podcast

In this episode, we meet with Susan Stein, a seasoned patient advocate, to discuss the pivotal role of patient advocacy in the realm of clinical trials. We focus on how advocacy influences the development of clinical trial protocols, with an emphasis on minimizing the challenges faced by patients, such as logistical and financial burdens. Key topics include the importance of incorporating patient input in trial planning, particularly in areas like informed consent and the frequency of site visits. Stein highlights the potential of technologies like telehealth to improve patient experiences while retaining critical in-person medical interactions. We also explore the increasing need for diversity in clinical trials and how patient advocacy is adapting to recent shifts in the clinical research industry. 

On this episode of the R&D³ Podcast, Datacubed Health's Business Development Representative Darious Davis sits down with the Head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategy at EmVenio Research, Brandy Starks, to discuss what Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) in clinical trials means to her, her thoughts on the influence of technology on DE&I in clinical trials, how we can advance DE&I in clinical trials, and so much more.
