Our take
Clinical trials, crucial for developing life-saving treatments, are often plagued by high drop-out rates, hindering progress and costing millions. Stitch tackles this problem by focusing on the biggest untapped opportunity: understanding and improving the patient experience.
Stitch provides patients with tools to manage their journey, provide real-time feedback, and feel heard. This includes user-friendly mobile apps, clear communication, and access to support resources. Through this shift, Stitch aims to transform trials from burdensome experiences to valuable partnerships between patients and researchers.
This innovative approach has attracted partnerships with Cancer Research UK and Langland. Collaborations like this show Stitch's commitment to benefiting both patients and research through better trial design. As Stitch refines its platform and expands its reach, it has the potential to revolutionise clinical trials, making them faster, more efficient, and ultimately, more successful for everyone.
