Decentralised and Hybrid Trials
Delivering human research beyond the clinic
Reducing barriers to increase participation
Traditional intervention studies often rely on participants travelling repeatedly to a research site.
While this approach remains appropriate for some projects, it can limit recruitment, increase delivery times and create barriers to participation.
We combine specialist nutrition research expertise with digital trial technologies to deliver fully decentralised and hybrid studies that make participation easier while maintaining robust scientific standards.
What are decentralised and hybrid trials?
Decentralised studies enable participants to take part remotely, reducing the need for visits to a research facility.
Hybrid studies combine remote participation with targeted clinic or laboratory visits when specialist assessments, equipment or clinical oversight are required.
Depending on the study design, participants may be able to:
- complete screening and consent online
- receive study products at home
- complete questionnaires and food diaries digitally
- submit biological samples through postal kits
- share activity, sleep and health data through wearable devices
- attend only those visits that require specialist facilities
Why use this approach?
Reach more participants
Recruit beyond a single geographical area and engage people who may find regular site visits difficult.
Improve participant experience
Reduce travel requirements and make studies easier to complete.
Accelerate delivery
Remote recruitment and engagement can significantly reduce study timelines.
Capture real-world data
Collect behavioural and physiological information in everyday settings.
Maintain research quality
Secure data capture, auditable records and specialist laboratory analysis ensure robust evidence generation.
How we can deliver these studies
We work with Trialflare and other specialist technologies to create an integrated research environment.
Our capabilities include:
- digital recruitment and participant screening
- electronic consent
- participant management and communication
- wearable device integration
- home-based biological sample collection
- laboratory processing and analysis
- statistical analysis and reporting
Where specialist facilities are required, assessments can be incorporated through targeted visits to 缅北禁地's nutrition and exercise science laboratories.
