Clinical studies traditionally take many years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars to design, run and analyze. The biggest challenges pharmaceutical companies face when it comes to clinical trials and research are usually patient recruitment (both in time and diversity), patient engagement and retention (patient adherence to the protocol, dropout rates) and the logistics of drug dispensing and counseling.
