Computerized Systems Used In Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are experiments that scientists do to research how well a new medicine or medical treatment works. Computerized systems are used to help scientists keep track of the results of a clinical trial. They help make it easier to enter data and store information like the types of medicines given, who was given the medicine, and any changes in the health of the people in the trial during the experiment. Computerized systems also help scientists run calculations and number-crunching quickly, so they can analyze the data faster.
