    That is interesting. Especially if it could reduce the burden of trial participants. We never even considered any trials or participation in research because it would have been so much additional work. If at least some of the evaluation could be done remotely via an app, many more families would surely agree.

    That was exactly our thinking with Peggy. But yeah, if we could do it remotely, without having to travel hundreds of miles, we would have agreed for sure.
