The Monitored Databases MDB: a new critical asset for OrthoWave
Thursday 24 December 2009
OrthoWave aims to afford a consistent integrated computerized tool, covering all clinical and radiological outcomes in Orthopaedics, with respect to Hip and Knee Arthroplasty, and soon with addition of other modules such as Shoulder, Knee Ligaments, Spine, …). The current architecture of the software mainly addresses the so-called “post-marketing” studies and publishing about personal series (”regular” data bases as RDBs) or in the frame of multicenter studies (anonymized “scientific” so called SDBs databases). It became obvious that this organization cannot specifically tailor the strict needs and recommendations devoted to the “monitored” clinical studies carried out by Clinical Affairs departments of Devices Manufacturers, and namely with respect to the so-called “pre-marketing” studies.
Obviously, it becomes necessary to complete nowadays the existing architecture of OrthoWave, while taking advantage of the already available advanced routines (namely through the Ajax secured web-based platform), in order to tailor the specifications as requested by the Clinical Affairs Departments (CADs), while reducing at the most costs of development by taking advantage of the existing OrthoWave architecture.
