Topography Health Co-Founder and CEO Alexander Saint-Amand appeared on “Podnosis,” the Fierce Healthcare podcast, on an episode dedicated to diving deep into the current landscape of clinical trials in the U.S.

Meanwhile, with the acceleration of decentralized trial sites throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, some research programs are struggling to keep up financially.

And unfortunately, these hardships are enough to turn some physicians away from clinical research.
