Research Data

Abstract

The Indivo X personally controlled health record creates a channel between researchers and the patient/subject in several large scale projects. Indivo enables patients to access their health data through a web interface and, as an “apps platform”, can be extended in functionality. Patient-facing apps, such as a medication list, may improve the data flow between researcher and patient, in both directions, and as such provide better data for the researcher and immediate benefit for the patient. However, research projects in general do not allocate large funds to patient facing apps, let alone a mobile interface. Thus we have created a framework that greatly simplifies connecting an iOS app to an Indivo X server. Our open-source framework enables novel as well as experienced iOS developers to build mobile interfaces for their research subjects, taking advantage of Indivo X.
