Based on this experience, here are five simple suggestions for CROs to help guide patients from the point at which they express interest in a study through to completion.
Day in and day out, we observe how a chronic condition or cancer diagnosis not only impacts the patient but their loved ones, as well. The comments and conversation reveal the ripple effect that occurs, and how the diagnosis impacts everyone in the family–often times it can feel as though they have received the diagnosis themselves. Caregivers step forward in recognition of their loved one’s need for care, compassion and support.
Living with type 2 diabetes can be a lot to handle, involving many medications, drastic lifestyle changes like dietary restrictions and constant monitoring of blood glucose.

Serving the needs of people impacted by chronic health conditions and reaching more than 10,000,000 people each month yields a unique opportunity not only to understand the challenges associated with a specific chronic condition but also to gain a clear understanding of the bigger picture surrounding the full scale of a person’s challenges. In many cases, this includes experience with co-morbid conditions.
Results from Atopic Dermatitis In America 2018, a recent Health Union research study of over 400 people living with atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema, indicate the condition is much harder to manage than others may believe.
