PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Medable Inc., the leading software provider for patient-centered clinical trials, today announced that Alison Holland, Medable’s Head of Decentralized Trials, will participate in the Prix Galien UK 2022 Forum & Awards Ceremony.

“The pandemic has transformed the industry’s views on clinical trial execution, demonstrating how trial design, regulatory flexibilities and use of real-world evidence can reimagine the research and development process,” said Holland. “During the height of COVID, we saw how existing clinical trials went more remote and more digital, making it clear that clinical trial flexibility is essential for the future of medicine.

“Clinical Trials & Regulations: What Have We Learned From COVID?” is the first panel at the Prix Galien UK 2022 Forum.
