Students interested in mobile development, iOS programming, health science research, or neurology may be interested in this research opportunity (possibly paid or for credit): The Comprehensive Stroke Center for UW Medicine is seeking someone to create an iOS app to help recruit subjects for clinical trials.
EDIT: If interested, email Glenn Schubert at gbs61@u.washington.edu
“The Comprehensive Stroke Center for UW Medicine is located at Harborview Medical Center, and staffed by UW vascular neurology faculty. We are also one of 25 NIH StrokeNet Regional Coordinating Centers conducting multiple NIH and industry-funded clinical stroke trials that recruit subjects from both HMC and UWMC. Administering these studies requires working through extensive inclusion/exclusion criteria – too much information for our neurologists to remember or work through easily with their current technology. The team would like to translate this process into an iPhone app, to help process possible research participants more effectively and efficiently.
We would like to create an iOS app that can replace all of our current stroke phones. The goal is that by answering a few questions, a vascular neurologist can determine if a patient is eligible for any ongoing stroke research trials. We would like to find someone who has iOS development experience and an interest in medicine/medical research. I’d be willing to discuss credit/pay options, but our budget is slim. The amount of hours per week would depend on their level of experience with iOS app creation and the complexity of our requirements.
