MIE2024 Conference article shows material data quality improvement and time savings in clinical trial data capture with nCartes

Published

on

FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The 34th Medical Informatics Europe Conference was held in Athens, Greece August 25-29, 2024. The conference theme was “Digital Health and Informatics Innovations for Sustainable Health Care Systems.”

At the conference, Maryam Y. Garza, PhD, MPH, MMCi, presented her peer-reviewed article “Comparing the Accuracy of Traditional vs. FHIR®-Based Extraction of Electronic Health Record Data for Two Clinical Trials.” Dr. Garza is an Associate Professor in the Department of Population Health Sciences at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and a senior academic researcher in a team, led by Meredith Zozus, PhD, regarded globally as leading experts in secondary uses of Electronic Health Record (EHR) data.

The article was published online with Open Access by IOS Press here: https://ebooks.iospress.nl/volumearticle/68949. The article is a report on a study led by Dr. Garza comparing the accuracy of FHIR-based EHR-to-eCRF data collection using nCartes to manual clinical trial data collection on two clinical studies conducted by the SWOG Cancer Research Network (https://www.swog.org), a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-supported National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) group.

In the study, as part of pre-production testing, three participant cases for each of two studies were selected, and data for each was extracted from the EHR using nCartes and compared to the previously collected study data in the study EDC system. Between the two studies, a total of 1,067 populated fields were compared using the nCartes-assisted method and manual entry. There were no data errors in the nCartes-assisted approach versus 13 errors, or an error rate of 1.22% with a 95% confidence interval (0.65, 2.07), with manual data collection and entry followed by a local quality control check. Those errors were then corrected in the SWOG study database.

The zero error rate obtained in the nCartes-assisted approach was primarily the result of nCartes ability to map the data elements for each study to the FHIR® resources generated by the facility’s EHR. In addition to producing an error free result in this assessment, the effort produced “elation of site staff proclaiming up to 50% time savings in MRA (Medical Record Abstraction), data entry, and QC (Quality Control)” once nCartes went live.

“Extracting data from medical records for use in clinical studies has been a dream since the first uses of computers in medicine,” says Meredith Zozus, MD, CCDM, Professor and Division Chief, Director Clinical Research Informatics at UT Health San Antonio. “Today, that dream is possible and necessary for improving population health and to pursue tomorrow’s cures. The Ancillary Studies to Evaluate Real-World Data Quality (ACE-RWD) program, partially supported through the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, is working with industry, academia, and technology providers to advance regulatory compliant and confident use of EHR data in research.”

“Drs. Garza and Zozus, their team, and our colleagues at SWOG are a delight to collaborate with,” says John S. McIlwain, CEO of nCartes, Inc. “The project shows the significant data quality improvements and staff time savings nCartes can produce.”

TrendAI™ Adopts Claude Opus 5 to Advance Vulnerability Prioritization and Virtual Patching

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, TrendAI applies frontier reasoning to convert vulnerability intelligence into faster protection across hybrid environments

DALLAS, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader from Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), today announced it is adopting Claude Opus 5, Anthropic’s latest and most capable Opus model, to help security teams convert vulnerability intelligence into immediate protection, from prioritization to virtual patching. The move builds on TrendAI’s collaboration with Anthropic on Claude Opus 4.8, extending the same defensive focus to a model that delivers step-change gains in advanced reasoning, agentic workflows, and long-horizon analysis. As AI makes finding vulnerabilities easier than ever, the harder problem becomes protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and that is where TrendAI is putting Opus 5 to work.

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, which credentials organizations for the defensive use of frontier AI models, TrendAI is positioned to apply Claude Opus 5 to defensive security as access becomes available. The model is Zero Data Retention compatible, supporting TrendAI’s governance and data-protection requirements as it scales AI across security operations.

The work extends to TrendAI Threat Research, where frontier AI models are combined with our proprietary frontier intelligence engine and human expertise to generate pre-disclosure intelligence. Those insights power TrendAI Vision One™, delivering stronger detection, deeper forensic insights, and proactive protection through virtual patching.

Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer, Head of TrendAI™:
“With Claude Opus 5, TrendAI can move from vulnerability intelligence to action faster than ever, prioritizing what matters most by exploitability and business impact. Finding the vulnerability was always the hard part. Now the challenge is protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and frontier reasoning is what changes that equation, extending all the way to virtual patching that protects customers before a vendor fix ships. This is what it means to secure the AI age, fearlessly.”

These capabilities support TrendAI Vision One™ in helping security analysts, AppSec teams, and SOC teams prioritize exposure, map attack paths, and accelerate mitigation, including virtual patching, across hybrid environments, moving vulnerability management from a static scanning process into a faster, context-aware risk mitigation workflow.
