Recruitment in clinical research trials can be challenging in trials that are time-sensitive and/or are rare disease and critical care
trials. One of the hurdles for recruitment in these types of clinical trials is due to the consent process, and the need to have
consent of the patient within a certain timeframe, or the patient unable to consent for themselves. This paper will discuss the
usage of the utilization of remote consent options for these trials.
