Abstract: The invention is based on a patient recruitment system (10) having at least one patient recruitment server (16), which comprises at least one search routine (70) that is provided to search for patient data records (32) on the basis of recruitment characteristics (66). It is proposed that the patient recruitment server (16) comprises a notification routine (82) which is provided to send a recruitment notification (76) regarding at least one patient data record (32) found on the basis of the recruitment characteristics (66).

Abstract: A patient recruitment system, in particular for clinical studies, has at least one database environment comprising at least one database module that is configured at least to store in a patient database at least patient data records containing at least one course of treatment of at least one patient, has at least one patient recruitment server comprising at least one patient recruitment module that is configured to search and at least compare with at least one recruitment feature, data records, in particular courses of treatment, and has a data transport unit for a data transfer, in particular of at least one course of treatment, between the database environment and the patient recruitment server, the data transport unit comprises a restriction module, which restricts the data transfer to outbound connections originating from the database environment.

Abstract: A hearing protection device is presented. The device has a first earmuff connected to a second earmuff by a connector. Each of the first and second earmuffs are configured to receive an ambient sound and provide a dampened ambient sound to a wearer. The device also has a cable, with a cable length, that extends from the first earmuff to the second earmuff. The cable is coupled to the connector by a connection assembly. The connection assembly comprises a plurality of connection mechanisms arranged in a connection plan. Such a hearing protection device gives more freedom of placing the cable in a compact arrangement.

Abstract: A patient recruitment system, in particular for clinical studies, has at least one database environment comprising at least one database module that is configured at least to store in a patient database at least patient data records containing at least one course of treatment of at least one patient, has at least one patient recruitment server comprising at least one patient recruitment module that is configured to search and at least compare with at least one recruitment feature, data records, in particular courses of treatment, and has a data transport unit for a data transfer, in particular of at least one course of treatment, between the database environment and the patient recruitment server, the data transport unit comprises a restriction module, which restricts the data transfer to outbound connections originating from the database environment.

Abstract: A method for recruiting patients for a study, in particular for at least one clinical study, includes at least one matching step that involves at least one patient parameter of at least one patient, stored on a patient data server, being matched, in a computerized manner, with at least one recruitment parameter of at least one study, stored on a study data server, and at least one rating step that involves at least one suitability parameter of a suitability of the patient for the study being determined, in a computerized manner, on the basis of the patient parameter and the recruitment parameter and stored on at least one server, in particular a patient recruitment server. In at least one association step at least an association between the patient and the study is made on the basis of the suitability parameter, and at least one piece of association information is stored on at least one server, in particular the patient recruitment server.
