Abstract
The present invention discloses systems and methods for facilitating candidate and subject participation in clinical trial studies. Medical professionals participating in the study at satellite sites assist in recruitment of their pre-existing patients as subjects in the study. Clinical trial data collected from the subjects is communicated over a computer network from the satellite sites to core sites. Study coordination is performed at the core sites. The collected clinical trial data is analyzed in accordance with the study at an interested party site.
