  • Publication number: 20250037810
    Abstract: A system for visualization and management of participants in studies having a graphical user interface (GUI), a database (DB) storing studies data, visit schedules, travel policies, sites data, and participants data having a first participant in a first study. The GUI has controls including system control, data controls (being one or more of a travel policy control, visit schedule control, and participant control), navigation control associated with the study, and selection control associated with the participant. The GUI responsive to using the controls can a) switch GUI views; b) receive and display participants data; c) receive and display visit schedule and travel policy associated with the first participant and with the first study; d) receive input data from the input device and cause the DB to update the studies data, participants data, travel policies, and visit schedules with the input data. DB may store a second participant.
