Attitudes of Older People on Using eCOA in Clinical Trials

As technology advances, the assumption that older populations struggle with mobile devices is increasingly being challenged.

A study by Signant Health revealed that many older adults, even in their 60s and 70s, are comfortable using touch-screen devices and are open to remote clinical consultations.

Despite concerns about physical challenges like poor eyesight, many older individuals show proficiency with eCOA (electronic clinical outcome assessment) tools and mobile technology.

This insight challenges common stereotypes and highlights that older populations may be well-equipped to engage with modern clinical trial technologies.
