Demo Site

For the time being, the demo site (a BRISSkit VM) is available at ​http://briss-civi.cloudapp.net/

Assumptions

For today's proof of concept hack, we are limiting ourselves to the concept of studies conducted within a single hospital research site. Future development of the model should allow for modelling multi-site and even international studies.

Objectives =

A basic level of anonymous

Trial Monitoring Option Checklist:

Risk-adapted approaches to monitoring are required. Type A (low risk) e.g. questionnaire study, Type B (intermediate risk) e.g. study using a CE marked device, Type C (high risk) e.g. CTIMP. Each study will need a bespoke monitoring plan according to risk and resources, but for this exercise shall we restrict ourselves to these three examples?
