"I use ClinTrial Refer mostly at the patient bedside, in my clinic or multidisciplinary team meetings, and in my downtime when I'm thinking about what options a patient may have. The beauty of the App is that it is accessible anywhere, anytime" - Prof Nada Hamad
ClinTrial Refer is a needs driven innovation developed to address a universal problem relating to clinical trials access, referral and recruitment. Since it’s inception, ClinTrial Refer has adopted a user centered design focus. We continue to seek feedback from patients and clinicians so that the platform remains highly useable and accessible to all stakeholders.
ClinTrial Refer also has access to a generous group of ‘Advisors’ that contribute feedback and ideas which are helpful to ensuring we are continually evolving in a rapidly changing ecosystem, and that our users needs are met across every touchpoint with the platform.
We would like to extend a very warm welcome and thank you to Prof Nada Hamad who is the newest member to join our esteemed community of Advisors.
