The 14th International Conference on EHealth Technologies is pleased to welcome you. It is a one-of-a-kind event that demonstrates the many facets and diversity of telemedicine and digital health. The eHealth SUMMIT 2023 will be held on February 06-07, 20233 in Rome, Italy.The two-day conference is expected to draw over 200 healthcare professionals, nurses, and experts.

Clinical research is the study of people's health and illness. It's how we learn how to avoid, diagnose, and treat disease. Clinical research incorporates a wide range of scientific investigations. Simply expressed, it involves human subjects and aids in the translation of basic research (conducted in laboratories) into innovative treatments and information for the benefit of patients. Clinical trials, as well as epidemiology, physiology, and pathophysiology research, health services, education, outcomes, and mental health research, can all be classified as clinical research.

Examples of other kinds of clinical research:

  • A long-term study that involves psychological tests or brain scans.
  • A genetic study that involves blood tests but no changes in medication.
  • A study of family history that involves talking to family members to learn about people's medical needs and history.

A clinical trial is a form of research study in the field of medicine. A clinical trial is a research study that aims to answer specific questions about potential new medicines or new methods to use existing (known) medications. Clinical trials are conducted to test the safety and efficacy of novel medications or therapies. Clinical trials are just one step in a long, meticulous procedure that can take years to complete. Doctors first test a novel medicine in the lab. Then they look at how the treatment works in animals. If a new medication appears to be promising, doctors will conduct a clinical study to test it on humans.

Types of clinical trials:

  • Pilot studies and feasibility studies.
  • Prevention trials.
  • Screening trials.
  • Treatment trials.
  • Multi-arm multi-stage (MAMS) trials.
  • Cohort studies.
  • Case control studies.
  • Cross sectional studies.
  1. Electronic Health record :

A digital counterpart of a patient's broadside chart is called an electronic health record (EHR). EHRs are patient-centred, real-time annals that make information available to authorised users promptly and securely. While an EHR system does comprehend a patient's medical and treatment history, it is designed to go beyond traditional clinical data collected in a provider's office and can encompass a broader view of a patient's care. EHRs are an imperative aspect of health IT because they can:

  • Contain a patient’s medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, and laboratory and test results
  • Allow access to evidence-based tools that providers can use to make decisions about a patient’s care
  • Automate and streamline provider workflow

One of the most important characteristics of an EHR is that authorised physician
