The ‘last mile’ of recruitment: Supporting patients before they say yes

Clinical trial support tends to be treated as two separate phases:

My Zone and Unwind: Dedicated support for children and teens participating in clinical trials

hello@littlejourney.health (Little Journey Limited) — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 17:17:42 GMT

Families told us that when anxiety rises in hospitals and clinics, they don’t want to search through a full app, they want a clearly signposted place to go. My Zone and Unwind provide that place to go within the study apps deployed by our Trial Flow platform. They support young people before, during, and after visits by helping them manage worries, stay calm, and feel mentally prepared. The use case is the same across ages; the experience is simply tailored for children (My Zone) and teenagers (Unwind).

Rethinking retention strategy: The ROI of proactive planning in clinical trials

hello@littlejourney.health (Little Journey Limited) — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 12:29:10 GMT

Within clinical trials, teams know retention matters. It’s tracked, reported, and flagged when dropouts exceed expected rates. However, awareness alone does not drive outcomes. If retention is a key metric, then a retention strategy must be a key investment during the study design phase.

Retention should be viewed beyond just the site level; it is a portfolio-wide driver of trial performance. Each patient who withdraws partway through a study represents more than lost data; it introduces protocol deviations, inflates monitoring costs, reduces statistical power, and can delay drug to market time. When these impacts are considered across multiple studies, the cumulative financial burden becomes significant. Evidence shows that the combined cost of protocol deviations, additional monitoring, and participant loss can reach hundreds of thousands, and in some cases over a million pounds per trial.

SCOPE Europe 2025: It’s not the science that loses participants, it’s the logistics

Earlier this month, our team joined industry leaders in Barcelona for SCOPE Europe 2025, an inspiring few days exploring how innovation can make clinical research more efficient, inclusive, and human. As always, we were especially drawn to conversations about patient and family experience - when participants and their support network feel supported through research, everyone benefits, from sites to sponsors to science itself.
