Clinical trials typically revolve around three models: traditional, virtual, and decentralized trials. In traditional clinical research, data collection and data capture happen onsite. Virtual trials are fully remote (i.e., remote monitoring) where enrollment happens at a distance. Moreover, Decentralized trials happen when both the data collection and data capture occur outside of the traditional site.
