A new way to find potential clinical trial participants

Nashville Public Radio reports on a new system developed by Vanderbilt University that will help individuals find clinical trials. The new software will allow individuals to search for clinical trails taking place. Researchmatch.org allows individuals to enter their demographic information, health conditions, and how far they’re willing to travel for a study, then those conducting clinical trials can search the database. Do you think this is a significant breakthrough for scientists? Do you see the numbers of participants in certain clinical trials increasing?
