SIPPA Health and Clinical Trial Survey Engine

The innovation of SIPPA Clinical Trial Engine and SIPPA Health mobile solution is an infrastructure to enable a patient-centered approach to encourage patient engagement in clinical trials. Specifically, SIPPA Clinical Trial Engine and SIPPA Health together realize an effective strategy resulting in two features that have been well documented as being critical for the success of patient engagment in clinical trials. First, a patient is given the complete control over the sharing of the survey response for a clinical trial with strong security and privacy protection. Consequently, the level of trust by the patients on the clinical trial increases because the process now has an administrative safeguard based on an informed consent, as well as a novel technical safeguard. Second, SIPPA Health mobile solution can leverage on the Meaningful Use of Electronic Health Record (EHR) under the Affordable Care Act to provide convenience and to improve communication. Specifically, the response to a survey question is automated by extracting the health information from the patient's electronic medical record (or physical health sensor devices such as blood pressure) when it is required and available in common standards such as CCD or CCDA.
