Video interview about Clinical Trial Risk Tool

This month, I presented the Clinical Trial Risk Tool at the Plotly Dash in Action webinar. I was interviewed by Plotly’s Community Manager Adam Schroeder. You can watch the relevant part of the webinar below.

The Clinical Trial Risk Tool was one of four interactive apps presented as part of the webinar. The speakers at the webinar were:

• Matteo Trachsel, Head of Sustainability at Thermoplan AG, Switzerland, who presented his Product Environmental Report Dash App, which calculates the carbon footprint of coffee machine usage.
• Thomas Wood, Data Scientist at Fast Data Science, UK, who presented the Clinical Trial Risk Tool, a tool which can estimate the risk of HIV and TB trials ending uninformatively.
• Nadia Blostein, Research Associate at NeuroPoly Lab, Polytechnique Montréal, who presented an  MRI image processing app on behalf of Agah Karakuzu, Canada. The dashboard allows researchers to compare datasets from brains and phantoms (calibration devices containing water, used to test MRI machines) from the three main MRI machine vendors (Phillips, GE and Siemens). 
• Gabriele Albini, Lead Data Architect at Afiniti, Italy, who presented his sARIMA Tuner.

(T1 is the time it takes water molecules in the brain to return to their original state following a magnetic pulse).
