Two recent Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s grads are addressing a problem that has plagued clinical researchers for years 카지노 게임 컬렉션 how to make it easy and convenient for members of the public to get involved in research. Luc Pelletier, (Kin카지노 게임 컬렉션19) and Brooke Resendes (Comp카지노 게임 컬렉션19) are the co-founders of Research Stream, an online platform that aims to connect the two groups.
At least 80 per cent of research studies are delayed or cancelled because finding participants is not successful, says Pelletier, noting that the traditional methods of ads and posters are expensive, time-consuming, and hard to quantify.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Until now, there was no streamlined way for patients and other people to get involved in clinical research studies,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says.
So Pelletier and Resendes did their own research, connecting with more than 100 researchers and dozens of research participants to test out their idea.카지노 게임 컬렉션Participants told us they want something online 카지노 게임 컬렉션 they go online to book other things, so why not research?카지노 게임 컬렉션 Pelletier says.
How it works
Research groups post summaries of their projects, including who카지노 게임 컬렉션s doing them, details of the study, and who카지노 게임 컬렉션s eligible. People can scan the studies and connect with a researcher by registering on the site. Research studies must have research ethics approval before they can be posted.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It was so easy to do,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says participant Susan Robertson, who was new to the idea of engaging in research. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It provided me with enough information to help me make the decision to take part. The email form is short and simple, and within a day I got an email from the researcher.카지노 게임 컬렉션
So far she카지노 게임 컬렉션s taken part in two studies at Kingston Health Sciences Centre. One study, in which she participated as a 카지노 게임 컬렉션healthy subject,카지노 게임 컬렉션 was to test her coordination and reaction time using her eyes, hands, and arms in the Kinarm robotic system.

While research studies often look at individuals with specific conditions or diseases, people without those conditions are also crucial to the research process. They provide the 카지노 게임 컬렉션healthy카지노 게임 컬렉션 baseline data that researchers need for comparison purposes when studying a health disorder.
Robertson does it because she카지노 게임 컬렉션s interested in research. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I feel like I카지노 게임 컬렉션m helping, and I think it will enable me to better understand my own health,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
Research Stream currently works with researchers at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and its affiliated hospitals, but eventually, hope to expand to institutions across Canada.
Research Stream has been supported by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Partnerships and Innovation, the Dunin-Deshpande Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Innovation Centre, and the Centre for Advanced Computing.
