DECENTRALIZED TRIALS
The Decentralized Trials projects portfolio aims to transform the clinical trials industry by leveraging cutting-edge technology to streamline and digitalize the trials process using Verifiable Credentials, Decentralized Identifiers (DID), and product digital twins.
A decentralized and interoperable architecture can enable shorter, more efficient, and more accessible participation in clinical trials while improving monitoring and reporting, all of which can help reduce the time it takes for a life-saving product to reach the ones in need.


The key components of this project portfolio include but are not limited to PharmaLedger Project legacy use cases.Â
In the Sandbox Ideas and Project Incubation phases are: eConsent, eEnrollment/eRecruitment, and IoT Medical Devices & Personalized Medicines.
Providing patients with a trusted and dynamic consent process for digital trial enrollment can make it easier for patients and providers to access clinical trials, while also reducing the administrative burden on trial sponsors.
We believe that Decentralized Trials have the potential to revolutionize the clinical trials industry, and we are committed to working with our members and partners to make this vision a reality. Our goal is to create a more patient-centric, efficient, and secure trials process that benefits everyone involved and connects to existing solutions.
