The Fox Trial Finder is a website which facilitates Parkinson's disease clinical research by matching research participants in the United States to clinical trials.
One of the motivations for establishing the platform was a lack of other suitable options for patients to seek and find clinical trials to join.
[2] A 2014 paper described the Fox Trial Finder as being part of a broader trend for researchers to support patient communities in organizing themselves to participate in trials.
Fox foundation does a range of other social experiments and interventions which interrelate to the platform and have the overall intent to make for better engagement between clinical trials and research participants.
[4] The platform has experimented with conducting research participant study visits through remote video chat.
