  • Patent number: 12282408
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for adapting digital trial to increase protocol compliance and retention. In some implementations, a system accesses (i) study data indicating a type of data to be collected in a research study and (ii) attribute data indicating attributes of participants in a cohort for the research study. The system identifies a set of technology items that are each capable of collecting the type of data indicated by the study data. The system determines a predicted level of compliance for each of the technology items in the set. The system selects a technology item for participants in the cohort to use in the research study based on the predicted levels of compliance. The system updates records for the research study to specify the selected technology item.

  • Patent number: 12248388
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for configuring devices and software for data collection in clinical research. In some implementations, a database includes information describing characteristics of different technology items and configuration elements corresponding to the different technology items, the configuration elements enabling use of different functions of the technology items. The system identifies a particular technology item selected to be used by participants in a research study. The system retrieves a configuration element from the database that corresponds to the particular technology item and is adapted to enable capture or transmission of data using the particular technology item. The system provides the retrieved configuration element to one or more devices associated with the research study to facilitate implementation of data collection using the particular technology item.

  • Patent number: 12248389
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for monitoring technology usage and data quality in decentralized pharmaceutical trials. In some implementations, a system receives data collected using one or more technology items for participants in a clinical trial that involves use of a pharmaceutical by the participants. The system evaluates usage of the one or more technology items by the participants in the clinical trial at multiple times during the clinical trial to determine whether the participants use the one or more technology items according to a protocol for the clinical trial or whether the collected data provides a level of data quality needed. The system determines, based on the evaluation, that one or more requirements for the clinical trial are not satisfied. In response, the system provides a notification to one or more devices of a researcher associated with the clinical trial.

  • Patent number: 11886318
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for monitoring technology usage and performance. In some implementations, use of a technology item by one or more individuals assigned to use the technology item is monitored. Based on the monitoring, usage data that indicates usage of the technology item is generated. One or more criteria for evaluating the usage of the technology item by the one or more individuals is identified. It is determined whether usage data satisfies the one or more criteria. A system provides, for display on a user interface, output data indicating whether the usage data satisfies the one or more criteria.

  • Patent number: 11605038
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for technology assessment and selection. In some implementations, study data indicating parameters of a research study or an objective of a research study is received. Types of data to be collected during the research study are identified. Technology options that each represent one or more technology items that can provide the data to be collected are identified. A suitability score for each of the technology options is determined. A selection is made from among the technology options based on the suitability scores. Output data that indicates the selected technology options for the research study is provided.
