What we've learned after conducting 100 DCTs

How do you, in a measured way, conduct and scale a decentralized trial? We may not have decentralized trials entirely figured out as we are still learning, adapting, and trying to optimize the decentralized clinical trial approach to be a better experience for everyone involved, however, we can share what we have learned after conducting 100 decentralized studies with THREAD.
