USING MACHINE LEARNING TO EVALUATE PATIENTS AND CONTROL A CLINICAL TRIAL

Abstract:

A method, computing platform, and computer program product are provided for monitoring a clinical trial. A computer platform receives, for the clinical trial, study design information including a set of parameters and corresponding parameter values related to travel constraints of a subject for the clinical trial. The computer platform applies the study design information and the corresponding parameter values to a trained machine learning model to calculate a predicted travel score indicative of a travel burden for the subject. When the travel score fails to satisfy a travel score threshold, the computer platform determines at least one suggestion for adjusting the travel score and the at least one suggestion is output. The computer platform outputs the predicted travel score.
