Research Objectives

PONTE aims at providing a platform that will:

• enable the development of a research question into a clinical trial in an effective manner
• effectively guide clinical researchers through clinical trial protocol writing by:
  • providing intelligent decision support at multiple steps
  • allowing them to perform intelligent queries to published clinical research findings, drug and disease data sources as well Electronic Health Records (EHRs)
  • enable the efficient and effective navigation through the current version of the clinical trial protocol beyond a simple view of the latter
• offer effective automatic selection of individuals eligible to participate in the clinical trial based on the study parameters and with a clear focus on patient safety and clinical trial efficacy and cost
• allow for adaptive clinical trial design
