Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 6, Documentation: 3, Utility: 8)

TrialPilot is a mobile-first platform enabling fully decentralized clinical trials, built by a long COVID patient to address accessibility gaps. It replaces expensive site-bound trial infrastructure with a phone-based system for consent, wearable integration, and functional testing, targeting invisible illnesses. The project is innovative in combining patient-centric design with regulatory alignment (FDA DCT guidance), though early-stage with minimal documentation.

Target audience: clinical researchers, healthcare developers, patients with chronic illness
