Patient Data → Synthetic Dataset → Clinical Trial Simulation
Transform real patient data into synthetic datasets for clinical trial modeling and drug development research without privacy concerns.
Workflow Steps
REDCap
Export anonymized patient data
Export patient records from REDCap in CSV format, ensuring all PHI is removed and only relevant clinical variables (demographics, vitals, lab results, diagnoses) are included for synthetic data generation.
Python (Synthea)
Generate synthetic patient populations
Use Synthea's synthetic patient generator to create realistic patient cohorts based on your exported data patterns. Configure demographics, conditions, and treatment pathways to match your real-world population characteristics.
Jupyter Notebook
Validate synthetic data quality
Run statistical analysis comparing synthetic vs. original data distributions using pandas and scipy. Ensure synthetic data maintains clinical relationships while protecting privacy through differential privacy techniques.
Tableau
Create clinical trial dashboards
Build interactive dashboards showing predicted trial outcomes, patient recruitment feasibility, and endpoint analysis using the synthetic datasets. Share with stakeholders for trial design optimization.
