Implementing sensor-based digital health technologies in clinical trials: Key considerations from the eCOA Consortium

This comprehensive review provides a practical framework for successfully deploying sensor-based DHTs in clinical trials. Drawing from collective experience and literature, the authors present five key implementation areas: sensor selection strategy, participant data sharing practices, multi-stakeholder input, diversity considerations, and site training approaches. The paper addresses the critical challenge of participant compliance by offering specific, evidence-based recommendations to balance scientific needs with participant burden. For researchers and sponsors, this guide helps navigate common pitfalls and optimize DHT deployment to enhance data quality while minimizing participant and site burden.
