Research Professionals DCT is a leading Decentralized Clinical Trial (DCT) Service Provider in Europe and fully GCP compliant
Connecting patients to Rare Disease Clinical Trials Through Technology
Recruitment is slow. Populations are dispersed. Keeping patients engaged over time is a constant challenge.
At Research Professionals, we manage and deliver rare disease studies using tech-enabled tools that reduce site burden and make participation easier for patients.
As part of our offering, we provide:
- Local-language patient landing pages to support recruitment and retention
- ePRO and wearables for real-time remote data collection
- Medication and visit reminders to encourage protocol adherence
- Integrated visit scheduling and for virtual assessments
- A patient safety alert system for rapid issue escalation
These tools are embedded in our delivery model, enabling efficient, patient-centric studies across geographies. If you're designing a rare disease study and want to make participation simpler without compromising data quality, we’d be happy to show you what’s possible.

Does It Have to Be More Expensive to Bring Clinical Trials to Patients’ Homes?
Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) often raise concerns about cost. However, with the right approach, bringing trials to patients' homes can be both cost-effective and efficient.
Affordable Solutions Through Strategic Networks
At Research Professionals, we leverage a network of home nurses across Europe, focusing on regions with lower living costs to deliver high-quality care at reduced rates. This geographic strategy minimizes expenses while maintaining excellence in patient care.
Streamlined Trial Design for Savings
By combining affordable home nursing services with fewer clinic visits and advanced technology, we create trial designs that reduce site management costs and patient travel expenses.
Enhancing Recruitment and Retention
DCTs simplify participation by reducing the need for frequent site visits, boosting recruitment and retention rates. Our personalized nurse support ensures patients feel valued, reducing dropout risks and incomplete data.
Inclusive and Diverse Participation
By enabling remote participation, DCTs expand access to diverse populations, enhancing the generalizability of study results.
Cost-Effective Technology Platform
Our digital platform integrates pre-screening, connected devices, role-specific dashboards, offline access, and regulatory compliance — all at a competitive price point.
