Clinical Trial Designs

Clinical Trial Designs

Clinical trial designs vary considerably, impacting study execution, patient recruitment, endpoints, and treatment delivery. Here’s a brief summary of some common designs:  

First-In-Human (FIH) Studies

These are the initial human trials for a new drug, procedure, or treatment, focusing primarily on safety.  

Cohort Studies

These observational studies follow a group of individuals over an extended period to assess risk factors associated with developing specific conditions.  

Case-Control Studies

These studies compare individuals with a particular disease or condition (cases) to similar individuals without the disease (controls) to identify potential risk factors.

Using Natural Language Processing in Healthcare

This post originally appeared on Fast Data Science’s blog on LinkedIn. In today’s ever-evolving healthcare landscape, technology is crucial to improving patient care, streamlining processes, and enhancing outcomes. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is one such technology that is revolutionising the way healthcare organisations operate. For instance, NLP has been used to analyse patient feedback and identify trends in satisfaction levels, leading to targeted improvements in service quality. In this article, we will explore the role of NLP in healthcare, its benefits, and potential applications.
