Mobile devices for electronic data capture in clinical studies

Mobile devices for electronic data capture in clinical studies

Abstract

Os dispositivos móveis, incluido os comuns smartphones e tablets, estão a ser cada vez mais usados em cenários de mHealth, em que o dispositivo é usado para a recolha de dados médicos diretamente ou atuando como um agregador para sensores médicos. Tais aplicações permitem captura e persistência eletrónica dos dados, prevenindo problemas com a inserção manual. A disponibilidade de smartphones e tablets, por um lado, e sensores vestíveis/dispositivos médicos, por outro, cria uma oportunidade para usar a captura de dados de saúde com dispositivos móveis também em aplicações de estudos clínicos. Nesta dissertação, propomos uma applicação móvel para a participação em estudos clínicos, desenvolvida em Android, incluindo a captura eletrónica de dados em contextos ambulatórios. Além do suporte comum para preenchimento de questionários, a aplicação utiliza o protocolo ISO/IEEE 11073 para comunicar com dispositivos médicos compatíveis. O trabalho foi concebido para se integrar com a plataforma de estudos clínicos uEDC (desenvolvida pela iUZ Technologies). O uso experimental dos sistemas mostra que o front-end móvel consegue com sucesso suportar diferentes dispositivos e protocolos de estudo, totalmente integrados com o backend uEDC.

Mobile devices, including common smartphones and tablets, are being increasingly used for mHealth scenarios, in which the device is used to capture health values directly or acting as a hub for health sensors. Such applications allow a machine-to-machine capture and persistence of data, avoiding problems with manual data entry. The availability of smartphones and tablets, on one side, and wearable sensors/medical devices, on the other, creates an opportunity to use mobile data capture of health values also in clinical studies applications. In this dissertation, we propose a mobile front-end for clinical studies participants, developed in Android, including electronic data capture in ambulatory contexts. Besides the common questionnaire filling support, the front-end relies on the ISO/IEEE 11073 standard to directly obtain values from compliant medical devices. The work has been designed to integrate with the existing clinical studies platform uEDC (developed by iUZ Technologies). Early usage of the system shows that the mobile front-end can successfully support different devices and study protocols, fully integrated with the uEDC backend.
