完全在线进行临床试验的可能性是一个诱人的，但相对未开发的互联网医疗应用。互联网在人口中的普及提供了快速招募参与者的可能性，技术进步使以安全和保密的方式即时收集数据成为可能。1这些属性理论上可以通过降低成本和缩短每次研究的持续时间来加速许多化合物的评估。网上试验的许多组成部分，如招聘网站和电子数据采集技术，已分别加以说明，2-4但很少有人试图将这些纳入一个单一的过程，也没有研究评价这种努力的绩效。
The possibility of conducting clinical trials entirely on line is an enticing but relatively unexplored medical application of the internet. The penetrance of the internet in the population offers the possibility of rapid recruitment of participants, and technological advances enable instant collection of data in a secure and confidential manner. 1 These attributes could theoretically accelerate the evaluation of many compounds by cutting costs and reducing the duration of each study. Many components of an online trial, such as recruitment websites and electronic data capture technologies, have been separately described, 2–4 but few attempts have been made to integrate these into a single process, and no study has evaluated the performance of such an endeavour.
