Opportunity
A leading healthcare organization running a lupus clinical trial was struggling with low enrollment and high participant drop-off. Traditional outreach methods—like printed mailers—were not generating enough engagement, and many potential participants failed to complete the eligibility process. The organization needed a way to modernize recruitment, make the process seamless for participants, and keep them engaged across the entire clinical trial journey.
Action
To address these challenges, the organization turned to Ushur’s Clinical Trials Solution:
- Expanded Outreach
Ushur embedded QR codes in traditional mailers, creating a bridge between physical and digital channels. Participants could scan and instantly begin eligibility screening without downloading an app. Outreach was also expanded with SMS and email through Ushur’s Invisible App™, a user-friendly and HIPAA-compliant digital channel for information exchange and two-way communication, giving participants flexibility to engage in their preferred channels. - Personalized & Accessible Enrollment
Ushur powered tailored messaging for the lupus trial, written in participant-friendly language. Eligibility questionnaires were streamlined and made accessible across all devices, lowering barriers to entry. - Optimized Participant Journey
The enrollment workflow was redesigned through Ushur’s automation, simplifying each step from awareness to eligibility confirmation. Automated reminders and follow-ups helped participants stay engaged and reduced the risk of drop-off.
