One area that has great potential is in portable devices. Regardless of whether they are worn on the wrist or as an adhesive plaster on the body, AI embedded functions enable the devices to measure the heart rate or metabolism of patients remotely. Others can test for antibodies or blood pressure. A patient's daily activity can even be monitored for a more complete view from posture to sleep pattern. These devices are connected to each other via secure networks via the cloud, so doctors can view and analyze the data in real time. It is important to realize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to this. Different experiments require the introduction of different technologies, all of which can be mapped using digital strategies. Supporting decentralized trials through an ecosystem of technologies like video calling and electronic reminders can certainly improve patient compliance in trials. From ensuring participants are taking the right medication at the right time, to
