Every year the amount of medical information is growing. Each branch of medicine synthesizes a large amount of personal and medical data. Electronic patient records, medical devices, wearable electronics: they all generate gigantic amounts of data. Modern computer science is trying to solve the issues of storing, processing and transferring information between hospitals, clinics and medical service providers.
Main challenges in software development are related to the collection, processing and analysis of medical data. The challenges are relevant due to the large number of medical data sources such as information systems and aggregators, each has its own characteristics and implementation details.
Through the analysis of medical data, researchers and doctors can test hypotheses, conduct experiments, develop new types of drugs, and develop new ways to screen for diseases. Everything is complicated by only one thing: how to collect this information.
The Sovereignty Network (TSN) turned to us to extend their system to allow researchers to create clinical trials of any complexity. TSN is a healthcare data marketplace that enables patients to compile and own their own healthcare records in one place with the ability to participate in clinical trials. Researchers should be able to recruit participants into trials depending on the enrollment criteria that can be easily fine-tuned.
