ServiceCycleNE2-Bullet  Custom Development

Innovative studies often require unique informatics solutions. CTSI can tailor existing software or create novel software to fit the exact needs of your study. If your study demands features beyond what is common, CTSI will build a solution to fit your requirements. Some past examples include:

  • Online delivery of psychological assessments
  • Medication tracking using eCap sensor
  • Custom data import to match third party exports
  • Automated t-score calculation based on population norms
  • Subject level graphs presented at data collection time (showing change in performance)
  • Study specific workflows and hierarchical data access models
  • Visualizations

 

If you are interested in using any of our services, please contact us to discuss your needs.

ServiceCycleNE2-Bullet   Data Integrations

CTSI can integrate our systems with third party data sources. These integrations allow for real time data sharing between services and prevent data entry issues. Integrations can move data in or out of these third parties. Examples include: pull autism assessment data for the CDC, tracking medication adherence with eCap sensors, and moving registrant data into an electronic health record through HL7 for the Flint Registry.
