Findings
Feedback on training for both sites and patients is a critical focus, including its clarity, duration, and accessibility.
Common site challenges include managing logistics, technical troubleshooting, and adapting workflows to accommodate patient-facing technologies.
Patient Experience: The questionnaire captures patient compliance, usability issues, and burden, particularly in remote or decentralized trial setups.
Feedback is collected at three distinct points—early (training), mid-study (technical issues), and post-study (overall impressions)—to address evolving challenges.
Strong communication and timely support from sponsors and vendors are emphasized as critical to resolving issues and maintaining trial integrity.

Recommendations
Incorporate PTSFQ into Trial Protocols: Sponsors should integrate this feedback tool into study plans to systematically capture insights from sites.
Provide comprehensive, multi-format training tailored to diverse learning needs for both site staff and patients.
Establish clear, accessible points of contact for technical and logistical support, ensuring rapid resolution of issues.
Use patient feedback to minimize burden, improve device usability, and ensure compatibility with daily routines.
Regularly review feedback from all PTSFQ sections to identify trends, address issues early, and refine technology use in ongoing and future trials.
