Digitized Clinical Trials Patient Survey

How do you feel about using digital tools to improve your healthcare or support you in a clinical trial? Your feedback is valuable. Take our survey so we can better develop resources that help everyone.

Digitized Clinical Trials Patient Survey

The goal of this survey is to learn about kidney patients' experiences with clinical trials and if digital tools such as computers, electronic home health monitors, and mobile phones might impact participation. Clinical trial participants help advance medicine, offer alternative treatment methods, and can improve quality of life.  By completing this survey, you can help researchers, health care providers, and other skilled health professionals improve clinical trial access and care. We value your time and feedback.

Access and Participation: Digital tools are resources such as computers, mobile devices, or other electronic devices that can be used to provide access to information without a physical connection. Use of digital tools in clinical trials can reduce the need to physically travel to a location to participate in clinical studies.
