Our take
Clinical trials have historically been limited by factors like attendance and testing times. Turnaround can be slow, overheads can get costly, and those who don’t have the ability or time to meet appointments go unrepresented in medical developments. Lightship is hoping to redefine clinical trials with its end-to-end collaborative solution that offers at-home participation, making trials more accessible, and their results more representative.
With FDA regulations fairly recently updated to account for at-home trial participation, Lightship's arrival has been welcomed by the industry. The task of producing sound and accurate results outside of the lab is a tough one, so the company's efforts will certainly be valuable to this new clinical trial landscape.
The company is well-funded and has strategically partnered with eClinical platform Castor to accelerate its capabilities. With an increasing focus on making trial participants more diverse, and people now acclimatised to virtual engagement, its solution is promising and has the potential to yield vital clinical results.
