Clinical Trial Digital Patient Recruitment Strategies

The Latest Digital Patient Recruitment Strategies at Your Fingertips

Patient recruitment was tough in the past but it is changing! It is becoming easier to find the right patients for your study.  If you are wondering why, this is because digital methods have opened up precise targeting allowing you to spend less but still receive more. This is unlike TV or radio advertisements. You only pay for people who view or click on your ad.  This allows you to target more people in less time because nearly everyone has a smartphone and a similarly large part of that group is also on social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

As a clinical researcher, it’s important for you to start implementing digital patient recruitment methods unless you are fine with losing potential patients in your trials. Many in the industry have already implemented digital patient recruitment strategies which include the use of Google ads, Facebook ads and Twitter ads. In this course you will learn the strategies and methods to take your patient recruitment efforts to the next level.
