Insights from the Healthcare System for Patient-Centric Trials at the Point of Care

Patient-centricity is everywhere in clinical research. But what does it actually look like inside real healthcare systems?

In this episode of Inside the Trends, we move beyond theory to explore how clinical trials can truly align with the realities of patient care. Our discussion challenges sponsors, researchers, and healthcare leaders to rethink how trials are designed, implemented, and integrated into everyday care.

About this episode 

Patient-centricity is often discussed as a goal—but rarely examined through the lens of frontline care delivery. 

In this episode of The Future Prescription: Inside the Trends, Steve Kundrot, COO of TriNetX, is joined by Dr. Sarju Ganatra, cardiologist and Co-Director of the Lahey Innovation Hub at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, to explore what it takes to make patient-centric trials work where care actually happens. 

Together, they unpack the operational, clinical, and human realities shaping modern trials—from decentralized models and wearable data to clinician workload and protocol feasibility.

This episode is part of Inside the Trends, an episodic fireside chat series exploring the forces shaping the future of clinical research and real-world evidence. Each session draws from The Future Prescription, TriNetX’s Trends Report, and features conversations with industry leaders, clinicians, and innovators. This episode focuses on Trend #4: “Care Reimagined—Patient-Centricity from Trials to Treatments”.
