METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING INFORMED CONSENT PROCESSES

摘要

System (10) represents a single integrated system that may be operated by a trusted third party. Database (14) allows a person to store their medical and biological data, and a grant of consent (22). The grant of consent indicates the types of activities and uses to which the person has agreed, and includes an indication as to whether the person is willing to be re-contacted (18). The re-contacting process (18) may result in a change of consent type. The system further includes a query mechanism (12) that allows a user, such as a medical researcher, to identify individual with a specific medical or other condition of interest. In certain embodiments, the system provides training materials to be viewed by prospective participants.
