Our vision is to create a new paradigm in clinical trials - one that is more inclusive, equitable, and efficient. By decentralizing the research process and employing innovative technologies, we strive to open up new avenues for scientific discovery and healthcare advancements, making clinical research accessible to all.\n\n# **Issue Statement**\n\nOur project is designed to address several pivotal challenges in the field of clinical trials. We are targeting the substantial difficulty in accessing and effectively utilizing real-world health data, which is often constrained within isolated data silos. This situation impedes its potential use in health innovation and research, further complicated by organizational, legal, and technical barriers. Additionally, we are tackling issues such as low participant engagement and compliance in clinical trials, leading to incomplete or biased data. Furthermore, we are focusing on overcoming the limited accessibility of traditional trials, which often present geographical and logistical barriers that restrict diverse population participation. Finally, our project aims to address data privacy concerns, a significant hurdle in convincing participants to share personal health data. By introducing a decentralized model for clinical trials and enabling direct data sharing from individuals, we intend to enhance the efficiency of data collection, improve participant engagement, and foster more inclusive and diverse research.\n\n# **Solution** \n\nOur proposed solution integrates advanced technology and a decentralized approach to address key challenges in clinical trials. It encompasses:\n\n- **Advanced Technology Integration:** Utilizing MCS Data Labs' proprietary smartwatches equipped with sensors for comprehensive bio and environmental data collection. This technology, supported by custom software and AI/XAI algorithms, ensures efficient data capture and processing.\n- **Decentralized Clinical Trials Infrastructure:** Shifting from traditional models, we aim to create an open-source platform that democratizes the research process, allowing diverse groups to conduct their own clinical trials.\n- **Emphasis on Privacy and Data Sovereignty:** By incorporating Web3 technologies like sharding and ZK proofs, we ensure enhanced privacy and data security, giving users complete control over their data.\n- **Tokenomics for Participant Compliance:** Introducing a tokenomics model, we incentivize participants through smart contracts, promoting adherence to trial protocols.\n- **Community-Driven Research Ecosystem:** Implementing a DAO structure, our project allows community members, including patients and researchers, to actively participate in the research process, fostering a democratic, privacy-preserving approach.\n\n# **Hackathon Background & Upcoming Plans**\n\nOur team's background in developing a privacy-preserving, unbiased clinical trial platform began with a pivotal moment at the ZuHack event in Istanbul last November. During this event, we focused on enhancing the privacy aspects of our technology while conducting a small-scale pilot with proprietary smart devices, SmartKo. Our efforts and innovative approach were recognized, as we won two awards in the DeSci and ZK categories. This success validated our initial hypotheses and set the foundation for our ongoing work. For more details on our submission at ZuHack, please visit the [DoraHacks project page](https://dorahacks.io/buidl/7963).\n\n![SmartKo](https://files.gitbook.com/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FrbaRnDFunpsJTZ1Q35ni%2Fuploads%2FYDXuP4MabHiX4FvCGdsX%2FSmartKo.png?alt=media&token=801433fc-4a17-41f9-b77f-80c5d8c75999)\n\nWe recently fundraised 2.5 ETH in matching funds from Zuzalu\u2019s QF Round for Tech and we are on track to pilot our technology in the popup cities happening between Q3 and Q4.\n\n___\n\n# **Collaboration Synergy**\n\n**MCS Data Labs:** Bringing a wealth of expertise in hardware research and development, MCS Data Labs contributes its comprehensive skills in custom hardware, software, and AI/XAI algorithm development. This expertise is crucial for the accurate and efficient collection and processing of bio and environmental data through state-of-the-art wearable technology.\n\n**Transience Labs:** With its innovative vision of \u201cmintable moments\u201d, Transience Labs adds a unique perspective to the project. Their focus on open-source protocol architecture ensures that the infrastructure developed is not only robust and scalable but also accessible to a wide range of users and researchers.\n\n# **Why dTrials need blockchain technology?**\n\nOur platform's reliance on blockchain is not just a feature; it's a fundamental necessity to ensure the highest standards of data integrity, privacy, and security throughout its lifecycle. The integration of various cryptographic methods is pivotal in fortifying our ecosystem's security and maintaining its tamper-proof nature. These methods are intricately woven into different components of our platform, each serving a critical role.
