Notes - Clinical Trial Use Case discussion
- Deniz presented slides for possible data and process architecture for the clinical trial execution
- First level of access is to find a site or hospital to carry out trial
- Hospital searches database for patients. Patient ID is blinded
- Then CRO (Contract Research Organization) negotiates with hospital to unblind patient’s data.
- Data Providers will need to know the system is protecting their value through a permission layer between CRO and Data Provider
- Data Providers are an agency or department working within a hospital, like John Hopkins.
- Interests/Needs of participants in a clinical trial
o Hospital looking for researchers
o Patient for treatments
o Researchers look for data
o Hospitals are using FHIR, HL7: 98 attributes and not complete. Hospitals are not providing the same data for the different attributes
- Purpose of the blockchain is to regulate permissions levels between participants
- With Hyperledger Fabric, each partner is already trusted
