Improve patient engagement during clinical trials

Improve patient engagement, experiences, and retention during clinical trials while providing research teams with the tools needed to care for patients and deliver efficient feedback on treatment results.

Optimize clinical trials
Use AI to help choose the best patients for engagement in clinical trials. Machine learning (ML) can compare data collected on an individual to data from a group of patients. Along with the help of natural language processing (NLP), which standardizes patient records into data sets from large numbers of patients, ML can help predict the best candidates for clinical trials.
ML and NLP can also interpret volumes of study results, delivering insights early on during trials — saving valuable time and resources.

Create immersive experiences
From revolutionizing frontline care to enabling remote monitoring and diagnostics, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are breaking industry barriers. VR and AR provide a variety of benefits in medical training, diagnosis, and treatment while delivering extensive data tracking capabilities and positive return on investment.
Patients can experience improved engagement that leads to increased clinical trial retention during treatment for a variety of conditions by immersing themselves in multisensory digital worlds. These experiences can decrease agitation, frustration, anxiety, and depression in a variety of situations, including patients who have cognitive impairment or dementia and those who reside in senior living communities, veterans’ homes, and other outpatient centers.

Lenovo ThinkReality VRX is a versatile, high-resolution, full-color VR/MR headset that provides a comfortable, well-balanced design for extended use sessions anywhere medical training, team collaboration, and patient care take place. The Lenovo ThinkReality VRX supports enterprise-grade security practices with a secure supply chain and manufacturing process.

Unlock the value of collaborative patient care
Meaningful interactions and collaborative relationships are essential to delivering exceptional patient care during clinical trials.
Organizations must become engaging to boost patient engagement and clinical trial interactions. Keeping patients connected with family members and their care teams is critical for success.
AI enables users to complete tasks when and where they want, often on their own devices — reducing costs, waiting times, and administrative errors while increasing patient satisfaction.
Offer interactive online portals with natural language processing (NLP)-driven chatbots to help with medication refills and other simple administrative tasks for a personalized, always-available experience.

Provide smarter AI-enhanced simulations and digital twin visualizations

With advancements in simulation, digital twins, digital fabrication, manufacturing training, and generative design enhancing visualization — and AR/VR improving collaboration and design — manufacturing
is seeing a shift in how products are being designed, developed, and built.

With AI and digital twins, organizations can better predict and optimize operational performance, resulting in improved processes, faster development times, and enhanced overall efficiency. The use of digital twins to improve processes can also enable medical staff to communicate and collaborate with each other more effectively no matter where they are — another cost-saving feature.
The use of AI in product development is increasing, enabling engineers to gain real-time insights for design, advance time-consuming simulation tasks, improve data management, and use data to train machine learning models to identify key design parameters.

Fully realizing the promise of digital twins and AI brings the healthcare industry much closer to connected care, revolutionizing how we manage health and wellness.

Gartner Inc. predicts that by 2025, 25% of healthcare delivery organizations will include formalized digital twin initiatives within their digital transformation strategy.6 Lenovo meets these needs by delivering an optimal high-performance infrastructure for manufacturing and offering a complete portfolio of hardware, solutions, and services for all your product development workflows and applications.
