Introducing The Unblinded View

Welcome to The Unblinded View — the new home for perspective, opinion, and the occasional heresy from the world of IRT/RTSM and clinical trial technology.

This isn’t a news feed or a marketing blog. It’s a place for ideas — drawn from decades in the trenches of trial operations, system design, and the sometimes-awkward intersection between the conduct of clinical trials and reality.

Here you’ll find:

• Straight talk about what works (and what doesn’t) in IRT.

• Reflections on technology, process, and the people who make trials happen.

• The occasional story from behind the scenes — where lessons are learned the hard way.

The name says it all: this is a viewpoint — informed, opinionated, and transparent. IRT is too important, too nuanced, and too human to discuss only in press releases and conference panels.

If you’re someone who believes quality comes from understanding — and that better systems make better studies — you’re in the right place.

Pull up a chair. Let’s get unblinded.
