New innovations must meet the needs of a significant number of patients if they are to have a meaningful health impact. To broaden the populations served means reaching more people in need. Yet researchers often find recruiting a wide range of participants for trials can pose a significant challenge. Hear from our panel of experts as we explore strategies for outreach and successful approaches for fostering inclusivity in clinical trials which can later smooth adoption of new innovations and lead to greater community impact.
This is the fifth and final session of the 2025 Biomedical Innovation Fireside Chat Series, hosted by the ITHS Technology Development Center.
