2021, Master of Computing and Information Systems, Youngstown State University, Department of Computer Science and Information Systems.
Advances in modern medicine occur because of research, and the most relevant research comes from clinical trials that include a large and diverse patient population. What of the possibility that this could be accomplished by collaborations between different hospital systems across the U.S.? Within each of these systems, there exists a broad and unique range of characteristics (e.g. community or academic, rural or urban, number of beds, specialist availability and services) each with a distinctive patient population. The patient health care record contained within each however, is governed by privacy restrictions as well as a data governance by that particular hospital system. There also exists an abundance of information from the wearable health device sphere: personal fitness trackers such as wrist monitors as well as the physician prescribed cardiac, glucose and oxygen sensors. What if we could collect all this independent and wide-ranging data while maintaining the patient’s privacy? The envisioned possibility here in obtaining such a diverse, unbiased collection has the potential to bring enormous advances to modern day medicine, ultimately improving patient care, which as physicians, is our ultimate goal.
