A decentralized clinical trial (often called a DCT) is a type of study where participants do not need to visit a hospital or research center as often. Instead, some or all parts of the trial are done from home or a nearby clinic.

These trials may use:

• Online consent forms
• Phone or video calls with doctors
• Home delivery of medication
• Local labs or home visits for tests
• Mobile apps or wearable devices to track health

Decentralized trials help people join studies more easily, especially if they live far away or have mobility issues. They can save time, reduce travel, and make research more inclusive. At DecenTrialz, we support these trials using secure, privacy-protected technology that follows all safety and ethics rules.
