Issue Statement

dTrials is designed to address several pivotal challenges in the field of clinical trials. We are targeting the substantial difficulty in accessing and effectively utilizing real-world health data, which is often constrained within isolated data silos. This situation impedes its potential use in health innovation and research, further complicated by organizational, legal, and technical barriers. Additionally, we are tackling issues such as low participant engagement and compliance in clinical trials, leading to incomplete or biased data. Furthermore, we are focusing on overcoming the limited accessibility of traditional trials, which often present geographical and logistical barriers that restrict diverse population participation. Finally, our project aims to address data privacy concerns, a significant hurdle in convincing participants to share personal health data. By introducing a decentralized model for clinical trials and enabling direct data sharing from individuals, we intend to enhance the efficiency of data collection, improve participant engagement, and foster more inclusive and diverse research.
