HC-SIG Subgroup Updates

• Patient/Member Subgroup (Deniz Coskun, Lead)

We met in the last two weeks outside of the subgroup meetings, and continued with the use case definition. 
 
Decision to fix the scope :

• The use case will be on "Clinical Trials for a Diabetes Treatment with Wearables"
• Patient Consent Process is the focus, for Site Selection, Patient Recruitment and Study Monitoring Processes
• BRIDG Model reference for the Clinical Trials Data Model https://bridgmodel.nci.nih.gov/about-bridg  
• Smart on FHIR  https://docs.smarthealthit.org/  as Data Standard for the Data Transfer between EHR2EDC 
• Separate Data Consolidation and Process Execution on Blockchain

Robert Learney and Alex Zhovnuvaty joined to team. Welcome!

I contacted to company https://www.clinicalpipe.com/  

Open points:

• Patient Data GitHub for the Project is requested
• Health Monitoring Process has many similarities Clinical Trials.  
• When is consent required more than once? For example: When a new PaaS AI supplier accesses the data? When during monitoring something new/different is monitored in the patient such as moods using a mood-tracking App? ( See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5676196/ )

• How can we design the Hyperledger Consent API to be universally used in all cases? Standardization? 

  • API Structure is to be defined

• Clinical trials use AI monitoring engine linked to a drug treatment plan? 

• What is the particular Treatment in Diabetes?

• Which Framework is the best in Hyperledger? Fabric or Sawtooth? Criteria for the selection?

• The data flow between Data and Process Layer
