Learning from Hackers: Open-Source Clinical Trials

Cet article évalue la faisabilité de mettre en application, au sein de la communauté des essais cliniques, les principes techniques et sociaux inventés par le mouvement des logiciels libres

Résumé en anglais

Open sharing of clinical trial data has been proposed as a way to address the gap between the production of clinical evidence and the decision-making of physicians. A similar gap was addressed in the software industry by their open-source software movement. Here, we examine how the social and technical principles of the movement can guide the growth of an open-source clinical trial community.
