Managing clinical trial participation is no small task. Coordinators juggle scheduling, communication, and compliance while making sure participants stay engaged.
Without the right tools, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Many coordinators we’ve spoken with describe the constant struggle of keeping participants informed, minimizing dropouts, and staying on top of countless administrative tasks.
Fortunately, technology can transform the experience for both coordinators and participants. When equipped with the right systems, trial teams can create a smoother, more predictable process that keeps everyone on track.
Are you struggling to keep participants engaged throughout the study? Dealing with frequent no-shows and last-minute cancellations? Wasting hours on manual follow-ups and administrative tasks?
At Mosio, we work closely with coordinators to understand their pain points and deliver solutions that simplify participation management. In this article, we’ll explore practical strategies to make clinical trial participation less stressful and more efficient using Mosio and REDCap.
What Causes The Most Stress In Managing Trial Participants?
Coordinators often tell us that participant engagement is one of their biggest challenges. Whether it’s making sure people show up for appointments, keeping them informed about study requirements, or tracking their progress, there’s always something that needs attention. Relying on outdated manual processes only adds to the frustration.
Common issues include:
-
Participants forgetting appointments or dropping out without notice.
-
Coordinators spending too much time on reminder calls and emails.
-
Lack of real-time updates on participant status.
-
Difficulty tracking engagement and compliance.
How Can Technology Improve Participant Retention & Engagement?
Clear, consistent communication keeps participants engaged and reduces dropouts. Automated messaging, real-time updates, and digital scheduling tools help coordinators stay connected with participants without adding more work to their plate.
Mosio
Mosio’s automated messaging system allows coordinators to send reminders, answer questions, and keep participants engaged through SMS and mobile communications. Many coordinators we’ve spoken with say this dramatically reduces no-shows and improves response rates.

REDCap provides a structured way to manage participant data, track progress, and ensure compliance. Its secure, web-based platform makes it easy to collect information without relying on inefficient spreadsheets or paper-based records. Coordinators appreciate how REDCap simplifies reporting and keeps participant details organized.
How Can You Reduce No-Shows & Last-Minute Cancellations?
Missed appointments create delays and extra work for coordinators. The best way to prevent no-shows is through proactive communication. Automated appointment reminders and real-time updates keep participants informed, reducing the likelihood of forgotten visits.
Coordinators tell us that Mosio’s automated reminders significantly improve attendance rates, helping trials stay on schedule and reducing unnecessary rescheduling.
How Can You Simplify Compliance & Data Tracking?
Tracking participant progress and ensuring compliance shouldn’t require endless paperwork. Digital tools allow coordinators to monitor engagement, log interactions, and store essential data in one centralized place.
