Study Scavenger and Clinical Trial Participation: Helping Others While Helping Yourself – Conveniently

By: PRLog
For many people, clinical trial participation is a great way to attain a number of things: 1) gain access to medicines and treatments to address particular illnesses and conditions, 2) earn money from stipends that are usually provided with select trials, and 3) contribute to efforts made by medical research and development institutions in finding cure and treatment options for different diseases.
PRLog - Oct. 20, 2014 - DIXHILL, N.Y. -- However, the usual challenges that come with this is the lack of easy access to information about which clinical research studies one can participate in given a number of factors that the prospective volunteer finds important or prioritizes. This challenge usually discourages many well-meaning individuals and would-be participants from actively seeking out clinical trials that they can take part in.

Putting Clinical Trials in the Palm of Your Hands

Enter the clinical trial recruitment app – namely, Study Scavenger – which is a free and fast way of conducting searches on clinical trials right on your Apple or Android mobile phone or device. This free app serves as the missing link between clinical trials and their required volunteers, effectively speeding up the research process and the introduction of new and safe methods for curing and managing a wide host of illnesses and diseases.

Taking Searches to the Next Level

While a mobile app for clinical trial searches basically acts as a search engine much like Google, this particular app takes it several levels higher by allowing users to customize their search criteria and offering several thoughtful innovations that will have users connected to particular research institutes faster. Apart from simply typing in one’s medical condition of choice and desired location, the option to input parameters such as age, stipend, distance willing to travel and much more generates a set of results that are more in keeping with the searcher’s important considerations. This allows him to save a lot of time by allowing the application to weed through hundreds or thousands of studies instead of doing it himself.

When faced with a promising result, the interface of Study Scavenger allows a person to press a button in order to do the following: call the research institute right away, email the listing to one’s self or to others or go directly to the research institute’s site to know more. Tapping onto the description panel itself flips to another one that details pertinent information such as participant qualification requirements and other study-specific data one might find important. The app also has a save function for the advanced search features inputted so one does not need to keep typing it in each time he performs a search. The app is also available in a Spanish version and presents listings of clinical trial researches that recognize this language.

Indeed, an application such as this has made leaps and bounds in the clinical trial field. What was once a ‘hunting for a needle in a haystack’ predicament is now very smooth and easy for anyone. Simply put, Study Scavenger has revolutionized searches for clinical trials not only for the benefit of the volunteer for many generations to come.
