Proposing Unique Digital Images as Non-Monetary Incentives for Clinical Trial Participation
By
Xavier Tadeo
Summary
This article proposes using unique digital images (nonfungible tokens/NFTs) as a novel incentive mechanism for clinical trial participation. The authors argue that traditional monetary compensation often fails to achieve recruitment and retention goals, and that personalized digital artworks—generated from participants' AI-driven learning trajectories in digital therapeutics training (CURATE.DTx)—can serve as more meaningful, symbolic rewards. The concept combines gamification, personalization, and blockchain technology to support both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The paper explores implications for decentralized healthcare, long-term behavior change, and participant recognition in preventive medicine and longevity science, calling for further research into digital incentives to transform clinical trial experiences.
