Since the registration process has been described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 , a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
- the clinical trial relay method includes receiving a clinical data sharing request (S820) and obtaining patient consent (S830).
- the patient's consent when the request for sharing is the first for a corresponding clinical trial, includes consent to share clinical data with a clinical trial sponsor and a willingness to participate in the clinical trial. As this has been described above with reference to step S420, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
- the clinical trial relay method includes a step of instructing the preparation of clinical data, transmitting the patient's consent (S840).
- the blockchain platform server 50 transmits the patient's consent to the data server 40 so that the data server 40 stores the patient's consent.
- the patient's consent may be transmitted in the form of a snapshot.
- the clinical trial relay method includes receiving clinical data from the data server 40 and transmitting the clinical data to the clinical trial requesting institution device 10 ( S850 ).
- the clinical trial relay method includes receiving supply history information and a hash value of clinical data from the data server 40 to update the block chain (S860). Steps (S840 to S860) are similar to steps (S430 to S450), so a detailed description will be omitted.
- the operations of the systems and methods according to the embodiments described above may be at least partially implemented as a computer program and recorded in a computer-readable recording medium.
- a program product consisting of a computer-readable medium containing program code, which may be executed by a processor for performing any or all steps, operations, or processes described.
- the computer-readable recording medium includes all types of recording identification devices in which computer-readable data is stored. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage identification device, and the like. In addition, the computer-readable recording medium may be distributed in a network-connected computer system, and the computer-readable code may be stored and executed in a distributed manner. In addition, functional programs, codes, and code segments for implementing the present embodiment may be easily understood by those skilled in the art to which the present embodiment belongs.
- the present invention relates to a technology for relaying clinical trials, and more particularly, to a system and method for relaying clinical trials using a blockchain network.
- a clinical trial requesting institution that has subscribed to the clinical trial relay system according to an aspect of the present invention can search and secure the target patient required for the planned clinical trial from the medical information of the patient who has agreed to share the medical information. .
- the clinical trial sponsor can dramatically reduce the cost of recruiting clinical trial patients.
- the patient in the clinical trial relay system of the present invention, can select some or all of the items to be shared among his or her medical information in the process of consenting to sharing medical information, and the medical information provided to the clinical trial sponsor is It can be verified whether it has been forged or altered, minimizing the risk of patient information leakage.
- the patient's role as a data subject in the clinical trial process can be strengthened by confirming consent for each clinical trial whether or not to provide clinical trial data to the relevant clinical trial for patients who have agreed to join the system and primary share.
