Every year, we are humbled to welcome so many dedicated leaders to our forum to share insights, case studies, lessons learned and best practices together in the collective interest of improving clinical research for patients worldwide through better science and technology, said eCOA industry pioneer Bill Byrom, VP of Product Strategy and Innovation, and co-host of eCOA Forum. To me personally, there is no better way to chart the course for the future of eCOA and related patient-centric technologies such as eConsent and Patient Engagement then to have open and honest conversations about what is working, what isnt, and where we as an industry need to grow from here. Im excited again this year to learn from our customers, partners, and other industry experts as we continue to focus on improving the patient experience - and outcomes - in clinical research.
Signant Health is also proud to highlight this years keynote speakers, Kayla Redig and Sarah Denger, as they talk about the Young Adult Cancer Experience. Kayla is the Director of VINCIBLE, a documentary that follows 27-year-old cancer survivor…as she creates a voice for the 69,999 other young people who lose their youth to this disease each year.
Sarah Denger is a two-time cancer survivor and community engagement officer for VINCIBLE. Both Kayla and Sarah will share their experiences and speak about the isolation experienced going through chemotherapy and how it made them vow to change things for their fellow patients and survivors.
Mike Nolte, CEO of Signant Health, said: "Kayla and Sarah are reminders that there are patient experiences that diverge from what we traditionally expect, and that its our duty to address and improve them. The eCOA Forum is a voice for them, as well as a voice for all our peers in life sciences who together can decide on the best ways to make a difference in every patients experience with clinical trials.
