Wearables, Wagers, and White House Hype
Tuesday, 11 August, 2026
Note to File gets extra spicy on this one. Brad and Denali riff on everything from wearables and brain health studies to the White House's new "Science: A New Golden Age" report and why U.S. clinical trials are still so painfully slow, expensive, and overburdened. They dig into: - Why consumer wearables like Oura and Whoop still aren't meaningfully integrated into most trials - The gap between "we're in a new golden age of science" headlines and the on-the-ground reality at research sites - The ethics and impact (or lack thereof) of sports-style betting on clinical trial outcomes via platforms like Kalshi - The industry's obsession with collecting more data "just because," and how that plays out in bloated screening visits - Brad's very real decision to move his site's source back to paper and what that says about the current state of eSource If you care about site operations, U.S. trial competitiveness, the future of AI and wearables in research, or you're just here for the unfiltered clinical trials commentary and nonsense, this one's for you.
