Hello, we are team stuckghecko!

The challenge we decided to take on was to improve the decentralised clinical trials process, but, to come up with a solution for this we had to first identify issues with the current system. Thus, after consulting an expert in this field, we learnt that data collection is done manually, this can be quite a hassle for both the researcher and participant as a lot of coordination and liaising is needed.

How will we solve this problem? We have designed a desktop app for clinical researchers, called C plus. The app is a one stop platform for clinical researchers to organise their projects and track progress. To facilitate data collection, each participant will be given a wearable device which tracks their health data. Such data collected would include participants' average heart rate, blood glucose level and more.

We will now be showing our app step by step. Firstly, when a clinical researcher downloads our app, they will be greeted by the welcome page. At the bottom, there is a button prompting them to register an account in order to access the app. After registration, subsequent visits to the app only require logins.

After login, they will encounter the homepage, where their projects, past and present, will be shown, alongside a sidebar that they can toggle with. Recent projects will be shown at the top, and newly updated results will be displayed at the bottom.

Additionally, there is a settings page where clinical researchers can update their profile and particulars.

When they click on a project, there will be 4 sections: a calendar, documents, data collection, and participants.

Firstly, the calendar aims to give a researcher a better overview of their schedule, and it also helps them organise their meetings. It serves to remind the researcher of the video calls that they have scheduled to check up on participants.

Next, the documents segment is a one stop place where all documents required by the researcher are located. This is to streamline processes and facilitate any applications required.

Following which, there is the data collected from participants. Researchers will primarily see the raw data, but have the option to have the statistics represented with simple diagrams or graphs to easily observe general trends.

Lastly, researchers will be able to view all the participants in the clinical trial of their project. However, for privacy and security reasons, the participants’ real names will not be used. Instead, each participant will be given an enrollment number, and that is what they would be referred to as. This is so that even in the event of a data breach, the participants would not have their private information leaked. 

Thank you
