Lightship

Clinical trials often list inclusion and exclusion criteria. They rarely account for a patient’s hidden costs associated with trials. Allison Rosen, MS, is a cancer survivor, public health professional, and member of Lightship's Patient Advisory Council. She understands what typically gets left out of trial design. Things like the cost of parking in a big city for every visit. The PTO that runs out, and the job you can't afford to lose because it carries the health insurance. For a lot of patients, factors like these determine whether participation in a trial is even possible. Allison's message to sponsors and study teams: understand the patient as a whole person before you talk about the trial. The less a study disrupts someone's life, the more likely they are to stay in it. That’s how you reach the people who need access most.

It's been a strong first day of conversations with sponsors, CROs, and peers across the clinical research community at The World Vaccine Congress Washington! We appreciate the time spent connecting with so many teams working to move vaccine research forward. If you’d like to continue the conversation, contact us to connect with the Lightship team: https://lnkd.in/eYJNzmb8 Pictured: • Michael Shipton, Chief Business Officer • Darcy Forman, Chief Operating Officer • Sepehr S., Vice President, Solutions & Enterprise Partnerships • Kenza McFadden, MPA, Director, Business Development • Ellie Holmes Stewart, Director, Business Development • Laura Stevens, RN, BSN, Clinical Research Nurse Coordinator #WorldVaccineCongress #WVCDC #ClinicalResearch #Lightship

We're celebrating National Doctors’ Day by recognizing the physicians who care for our participants and guide clinical decisions every day. Across the Lightship network, our Principal Investigators play a central role in delivering high-quality clinical research. Their guidance and commitment to patient safety carry through every stage of a study, from first visit to close-out. If you’re looking to work with experienced investigators across a flexible site network, contact us to connect with our team: https://lnkd.in/eewZtj-p Pictured: Russell Perry; Greg Sullivan; Robert Rubino, MD, FACOG; Armando Garza; Gregory Puglisi; Belkis Delgado, MD; Amy Sprague; Richard Jackson M.D.; David G.

Lightship will be at The World Vaccine Congress Washington, and we’re looking forward to discussions about the future of vaccine research. From study design to site execution, successful trials depend on reaching participants where they are while maintaining strong oversight and operational consistency. If you’re attending, come say hello at Booth 515 and see our mobile research unit. Interested in connecting with the team while you're there?

Patients as Partners delivered great conversations and meaningful perspectives this week! Sessions like “Optimizing the Site Experience for Patients,” and “Advancing Health Equity: Data-Driven Site Engagement for Underrepresented Patient Participation,” reinforced the fact that improving the participant experience starts with how studies are designed and delivered in the real world.   It was also a great opportunity for Kenza McFadden, MPA, Director of Business Development, to connect with peers across sponsors, advocacy groups, and the broader research community who are working to turn patient insights into practical, operational change. Thank you to everyone who pushed the conversation forward.   If you’re looking to translate patient-centric goals into study execution, contact us to connect with our team: https://lnkd.in/eFRg8xfT   Pictured with Kenza: David G.

In our latest Meet the Team spotlight, we sat down with Tia Walton-Streeter, MLS-ASCPcm,BS, Director of Quality, to talk about what quality looks like in practice at Lightship and how it carries across every study and team. Tia shares what drew her to Lightship, how she approaches audit-ready execution in her day-to-day work, and why consistency matters when trials extend beyond a single site. Plus, she gives us a glimpse into how she unwinds outside of work. Read the full blog to get to know Tia and her perspective on building quality into every part of trial delivery: https://lnkd.in/ejurTFfw #ClinicalTrials #PatientAccess #MeetTheTeam #Lightship

In this conversation with SCRS Talks, Darcy Forman shares how deciding between in-clinic, at-home, and mobile visits comes down to protocol requirements, patient needs, and operational consistency. Flexible trial delivery isn’t about adding options for the sake of it. It’s about placing each visit in the right setting while maintaining strong oversight and execution across the study. We appreciate the SCRS team for the thoughtful discussion! #ClinicalResearch #HybridTrials #SiteOperations #PatientExperience #SCRS #Lightship  

The Lightship team is heading to The World Vaccine Congress Washington! We’re looking forward to connecting with sponsors, CROs, and industry peers to talk about how clinical trials can better reach participants and run smoothly across in-clinic, hybrid, and flexible visit models. If you’re attending the conference, stop by Booth 515 to meet the team. We’ll have our mobile research unit on-site, giving attendees a chance to see one of the ways we support flexible study visits and expand reach for participants. Want to schedule time with us during the event?

It's Brain Awareness Week, a global campaign dedicated to increasing public understanding of the brain and the science behind it. Advancing research in neurology and mental health is essential to improving how we prevent, diagnose, and treat conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. Clinical trials play a critical role in that progress. If you’re planning neurological or brain health studies and want to explore flexible approaches to trial delivery, contact us to connect with our team: https://lnkd.in/ef9ZG7tF #BrainAwarenessWeek #BrainWeek #ClinicalResearch #Lightship
