In a recent interview with Dr. Tamara Sunbul, MD, MBA, FHIMSS, CPHIMS, PMP, a leader in digital health clinical trials, she shared valuable insights into the evolving landscape of digital health and clinical research in Saudi Arabia. Dr. Sunbul emphasized the importance of integrating clinical trials within standard medical procedures to enhance patient enrollment and retention. She highlighted that conducting traditional exams alongside digital trials not only respects cultural preferences but also ensures patients feel secure and supported throughout the process.
Addressing the challenges of attracting Big Pharma funding, Dr. Sunbul pointed out that Saudi Arabia offers abundant funding opportunities across multiple sectors, fostering a collaborative ecosystem that appeals to developers and supports innovation. She also noted that while international collaborations are pursued, all trials must be re-registered locally to meet Saudi regulatory standards and address population-specific data biases, ensuring the relevance and quality of research outcomes.
Dr. Sunbul's insights shed light on the strategic approaches being implemented to navigate the complexities of digital health and clinical trials in Saudi Arabia, paving the way for advancements in patient care and medical research.
