TrialX Updates: Supporting Health Research Data Collection for Fram2 Space Mission, AI in Patient Recruitment and more…

We are thrilled to announce that, in partnership with the Translational Research Institute for Space Health, TrialX played a crucial role in facilitating health research data collection for the groundbreaking Fram2 mission – the first human spaceflight to orbit Earth’s polar regions. For this mission, TrialX supported the collection of physiological data—including heart rate, heart rate variability, respiration rate, stress levels, and SpO2 etc.—using wearables such as Garmin smartwatches and BioButton sensors. Building on our decentralized research expertise, we’re proud to help advance health data collection beyond Earth. Learn more.


What’s New at TrialX! 🚀

📢 PRODUCT UPDATES 

Language should not be a barrier to finding the right clinical trial. At TrialX, we’re making research more inclusive by empowering study teams to connect with participants in up to 10 different languages—bringing clinical trials closer to the communities that need them most. More languages supported means more access. More access means better outreach. Learn how we’re breaking down barriers to boost trial awareness and participation


Recent enhancements in our patient recruitment management system makes scheduling smoother and more flexible for both patients and site teams. Clinical trial sites can now set and share their availability with patients, who can pick a convenient time slot during the referral process. Site staff can confirm or adjust the slot via email or the referral page, and both parties receive a confirmation email once it’s finalized.
