# Virtualizing Clinical Trial Recruitment for Speed and Massive Scale

![30% of all trial timelines are caused by recruitment, and a lot of sites struggle to even enroll one patient.](https://resources.lifelinksystems.com/hubfs/2020-07-23-digital-conversations-clinical-trials-chatbots-mobile-healthcare.png)
