Digital health technologies (DHTs) have brought several significant improvements to clinical trials, enabling real-world data collection outside of the traditional clinical context and more patient-centered approaches. DHTs, such as wearables, allow the collection of unique personal data at home over a long period. But DHTs also bring challenges, such as digital endpoint harmonization and disadvantaging populations already experiencing the digital divide. A recent study explored the growth trends and implications of established and novel DHTs in neurology trials over the past decade. Here, we discuss the benefits and future challenges of DHT usage in clinical trials.
