The problem
Today, reputable walk-in clinics are often crowded. In some places, due to high waiting times, some ill patients are even made to stand outside the clinic. This can pose a serious problem for all patients. Since walk-in clinics are mostly used for mild symptoms, majority of Indians access them every day.
Today, patients often face significant challenges when attempting to enrol in clinical trials, and many doctors find it difficult to recruit suitable participants for their specific trials. Addressing this issue is crucial to improve the accessibility and efficiency of clinical research.
Research
Most walk-in clinic doctors do not have your complete medical history. They do not have an established relationship with you to guide medical decision-making. 90% of those surveyed had never been asked by their doctor about participating in one. 61% of people without clinical trial experience indicated that they would probably begin their search for trials by talking to their healthcare provider.
Solution
Now you can join virtual queues instead of standing outside the clinic when you’re sick. If you’re suffering from a rare disease and want to learn about clinical trials, you can also participate in clinical trials.
