Business situation
With an aim to enhance the healthcare and life sciences ecosystem, the client was conducting a vaccine performance study, including patients from diverse demographics. The objective of this research was to gather data on the vaccines’ impact on patients. However, the process they were following was not advanced enough to manage data at a high scale.
Due to multiple mediums and formats of data collection, streamlining data in a unified manner was becoming difficult. Researchers faced some limitations in accessibility, and the lack of system integration made maintaining regulatory compliance more challenging.
To address these gaps in data infrastructure, the client needed a solution that could bring order to their research and data operations. They were looking for a platform that could centralize patient information, streamline the study, and enable more accurate analysis.
What they envisioned was a sophisticated yet intuitive interface with robust analytics features to revolutionize their data lifecycle in a more streamlined and efficient way.
The key requirements of the client were to:
Build a centralized system that can seamlessly unify scattered patient data, bringing consistency to research within a structured workflow.
Create a real-time data system with smart analytic tools for quick decision-making and continuous progress tracking.
Develop a data traceability feature to fulfill every audit requirement.
Ensure the platform is fully HIPAA and GDPR compliant, meeting strict data protection standards.
Incorporate collaboration tools and permission controls to support secure teamwork across multiple stakeholders.
The solution
To support the client’s research focused on evaluating vaccine performance across multiple patients, we built an end-to-end platform with a tech stack that could handle both scale and performance. Flutter was used for iOS and Android platforms to ensure faster performance and a smoother user experience. For the backend, we chose Golang, an ideal option for managing concurrent processes and real-time data workflows.
From patient onboarding to reporting, the platform serves everything under one roof, eliminating the need for any human intervention.
We worked closely with their internal teams, designing a platform that mirrored the way clinical researchers work, collaborate, and report.
We structured workflows to streamline data collection, improve accessibility, and support every stage of the study. This helped teams manage participants, track progress, and maintain the data easily.
To ensure ethical flexibility, the platform included a withdrawal feature, allowing each participant to opt out whenever they want. In case of withdrawal, the personal data of that participant was fully removed from the system to maintain privacy standards.
Our platform generated several key reports throughout the research, including:
We included this module to document the patient’s self-reported data throughout the study lifecycle. It included everything from side effects to the patient’s responses to the treatment. The electronic results gave researchers real-time insights, leading to quick progress monitoring and prompt responses to any issues that occurred. The eCOA report played a key role in analyzing the impact of the vaccine on the patients. This contributed to the overall process, effectiveness, and safety evaluation.
To meet the standards of healthcare regulations, we incorporated a report feature that recorded details about compliance-related activities. The report covered access logs, user actions, data transfer records, and other important details to ensure the platform’s alignment with strict HIPAA and GDPR compliance standards. It helped in maintaining audit transparency and readiness at every level of the study. This report built a confidence level among the stakeholders in respect to data privacy and security protocols.
The patient report module was integrated to provide end-to-end details for each participant. Researchers could easily access the data of participants’ journeys in the research. From onboarding to admission and infusion, the report carried everything required to monitor individual progress and outcomes. It made sure that every step was recorded and never overlooked during the study. Also, it supported both group and individual-level analysis, improving the research process authentically.
The impact
The data management platform designed by Daffodil brought key differences to the vaccine research workflows. By simplifying how data was organized and interpreted, it reduced the time spent on manual tasks by 65%, reported by the researchers. The strict data protection features ensured that the data was protected at every stage of the study.
The intuitive dashboard improved the quality of the entire process, providing real-time visibility into research progress. Researchers were able to make timely and informed decisions, leading to 85% improvement in data accuracy rates and 60% fewer data validation errors.
With a streamlined data management system and more efficiency, the platform positioned the client as a tech-first leader in delivering highly advanced solutions for the healthcare and research industry.
