How to Know When It is: A blog about clinical trials, the science behind them and how you can get involved.

Clinical trials are studies that involve humans. They are used to test different medical treatments like drugs, vaccines, or medical devices. Find out more about clinical evaluation, the science behind it and how you can get involved.

If you've received a clinical trial invitation, it's because research has shown that your genetics or medical history may offer something to the thousands of others who will benefit for generations to come. Clinical trials are not about the people participating — these trials have a larger purpose than just personal health. Logical and scientific…

Each year, thousands of patients are diagnosed with cancer, hepatitis C and other serious illnesses. Many of these patients are eager to participate in clinical trials for their disease as part of the treatment.

The thought is that if you can't get rid of the disease, at least you can find a way to delay it. Clinical trials can be a scary ordeal because it means receiving treatments that might not even benefit you. But they are also an invaluable opportunity to help researchers find better treatments for people suffering from these diseases.

Clinical Evaluation Process?

clinical evaluation of medical devices is a process that usually precedes clinical trials. It involves putting together all the available data about a product and using it to draw conclusions about whether or not the product is effective.

Clinical evaluation helps us determine whether or not it's worthwhile to conduct clinical trials of a product. Clinical evaluation allows us to make a decision faster than we can with clinical trials, since with clinical trials, we need to wait for all the participants in the trial to have results before we can start analyzing them.

Clinical evaluation also saves time because we don't have to set up and run an experiment like we would with a clinical trial—we just collect data that already exists and analyze it.

Are you interested in getting involved in clinical evaluation? You can get involved in your local area by volunteering as a patient or volunteer for a clinical trial. You can also take advantage of online opportunities to participate in research remotely by sharing your experiences with researchers via online surveys. If you're already working in healthcare as a clinician, you may also be able to get involved more directly by submitting data from your own practice, cases studies, and other sources relevant to your work.

If you're interested in getting involved, there are many ways that you can help us conduct clinical evaluations and make decisions based on them. Feel free to contact me at www.i3cglobal.com
