Clinical measurement in clinical trials

Clinical measurement is a cornerstone of healthcare, enabling accurate diagnosis, monitoring and treatment evaluation. It encompasses a wide range of tools and techniques, from vital sign assessments to advanced imaging and biomarker analysis. Key challenges include ensuring accuracy, precision and reliability while minimizing the variability caused by human error, device limitations or patient factors. The standardization and calibration of instruments are critical to maintaining data integrity. Innovations such as wearable devices and point-of-care testing are transforming clinical measurement, offering real-time, patient-centred data. Addressing these challenges and leveraging technological advancements are essential for improving patient outcomes and advancing evidence-based medical practices.
