Mistrust has been a key reason for lack of diversity in clinical trials, but by engaging with communities of color and potential trial participants early and often, clinical trial sponsors can develop therapies for all who need them.
Using Data we can transform outcomes for communities. We have to use technology to understand us [patients], our socio-economic conditions, what’s causing us difficulties in why we aren’t participating and leverage data to better understand how to reach commumunites that have been swept under the therapeutic research spectrum.
Digital tools give people new ways to share their data, personal stories, and insights with researchers. These tools give voices to participants’ values and choices. We are especially interested in adapting digital tools to support widespread deployment in lower-resource settings.
Customized solutions are needed to advance public health and to make a difference and create products for people who could not see the light of day of gain that access. Rubix’s digital platforms will allow us to launch solutions tailored at every stage of development.
DCT brings a unique set of challenges and significant concerns around “trust”. As clinical data and documents are being collected by, store in, and exchanged an increasing number and variety of systems and devices, trial stakeholders struggle to ensure integrity and authenticity of the research data. As result, we believe that blockchain and distributed ledger technology can improve accuracy, encourage data sharing, and ensure regulatory compliances.
Work by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Digitalized Clinical Trials project team helped us identify the various ways digital tools can create more access for clinical trials.
By providing opportunities for more diverse clinicians to participate, Inlightened build trust with our community of providers so that they feel comfortable sharing their expertise and knowledge with client partners from across the clinical trials ecosystem.
Decentralized clinical trials and the use of digital technologies can be complex, which means careful planning is required to support diversity.

“What I learned going through the peer review process [for a recently published paper] is that the V3 framework not only guides the community on how to design and execute experiments, it [also] helps build a [common] language… We were able to easily explain to the reviewers why [analytical and clinical validation] is important… in the absence of V3, that would be harder to do.” – Elena Izmailova, Chief Scientific Officer, Koneksa
Learn more about this V3 in Action story:
“We did analytics validation [step two of V3] in healthy populations versus disease populations in this case [because] gate and balance features can be recorded in both populations. In many cases, this is an optimal first step because testing novel algorithms [e.g., those developed by Koneksa] may require multiple iterations. – Elena Izmailova, Chief Scientific Officer, Koneksa
Learn more about this V3 in Action story:
“The first step [of V3] is sensor verification, and to understand the accuracy of accelerometers of [three devices], we put them on top of the Shake Table, which is the gold standard benchtop device for evaluating sensor accuracy…[we determined that] all three devices are fit-for-purpose to record gait and balance… [When looking at] hand tremors, another feature of Parkinson’s Disease, the accuracies are different… if we didn’t do this verification and we wanted to use these devices for collecting hand tremors it shows that this solution is not optimal.” – Elena Izmailova, Chief Scientific Officer, Koneksa
