When it comes to the digitalization of clinical research, your first thought might be EDC or CTMS. Digital tools often seem to fall short of delivering their full potential. Faced with a plethora of digital products on the market, how should pharmaceutical companies and CROs choose the ones that truly fit their needs?

 

According to survey data from VCBeat, digitalization investments account for approximately 15% to 50% of the total costs in clinical research projects. Do enterprises truly need such high-cost digitalization investments? Given the numerous stages requiring digital support, implementing full-process digitalization at once would incur substantial costs. Therefore, prioritizing digitalization investments in specific stages based on project circumstances has become a key consideration for project managers.

 

What is the rationale behind budget allocation for the digitalization of clinical research by pharmaceutical companies and CROs? Which segment should be the primary focus of budget investment?
