DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The use of computers and Internet has greatly improved the capacity of medical data solutions, but there still exist problems when conducting drug abuse research. One major concern regards the capacity to collect data in real-time and within natural contexts, since drug use and health issues are sensitive topics. Another concern regards traditional data and project management that lacks enough options for interactive communications between people. It often takes time before information or data summaries are accessible to make decisions on safety or efficacy. As a solution based on wireless technologies, this SBIR Phase-I application aims to develop a prototype of iPhone-based Real-time Data Solution (iRDS) and study the feasibility of using mobile-phones for data collection, management, and analysis in medical research related to drug abuse and other behavioral problems. Taking up to 6 months, the following applications will be created using iPhone, Web, and database development tools. 1. Develop prototype applications for real-time data collection: (i) iCollect provides an iPhone interface for behavioral/psychological data-entry; (ii) uDesign running on the web server offers a tool for designing questionnaire with electronic forms; (c) vData manages medical data on the data server. 2. Develop prototype applications to dynamically mange and analyze data: (i) iAnalyze provides an iPhone interface for exploring, processing, and analyzing data; (ii) uAnalyze is the web app that conducts data analysis requiring heavy computations. 3. Develop prototype applications for project management: (i) iCom provides interactive communication tools between researchers and study participants via text message, email, and web-page; (ii) iAdm offers reminder and progress monitoring services over iPhone to help researchers exchange information and coordinate tasks quickly. Accomplishment of the above miniature iRDS system would (i) enable data collection in real-time within natural contexts, (ii) manage and analyze data quickly, and (iii) improve the efficiency of study administration. Ten smokers will be used to assess the reliability, validity, and other features of the iRDS system using standard behavior and quality of life questionnaires. Complete development of iRDS and related methodologies will be conducted in Phase-II, and the system will then be extended to accommodate other mobile-phones (e.g., RIM, Windows Mobiles, and Symbian cellular phones) for business purposes.

描述（由申请人提供）：计算机和互联网的使用大大提高了医疗数据解决方案的能力，但是在进行药物滥用研究时仍然存在问题。一个主要问题是，由于药物使用和健康问题是敏感的话题，因此实时和在自然环境中收集数据的能力。另一个问题是传统的数据和项目管理，该数据缺乏足够的选择来实现人与人之间的互动通信。通常需要时间或数据摘要才能访问安全性或功效。作为基于无线技术的解决方案，此SBIR I阶段应用程序旨在开发基于iPhone的实时数据解决方案（IRD）的原型，并研究使用移动手机进行数据收集，管理和分析的可行性与药物滥用和其他行为问题有关的研究。最多需要6个月，将使用iPhone，Web和数据库开发工具创建以下应用程序。 1。为实时数据收集开发原型应用程序：（i）Icollect为行为/心理数据输入提供了iPhone界面； （ii）在Web服务器上运行的Udesign提供了一种工具，用于设计带有电子表单的问卷； （c）VDATA在数据服务器上管理医疗数据。 2。开发原型应用程序以动态管理和分析数据：（i）Ianalyze提供了用于探索，处理和分析数据的iPhone界面； （ii）UAnalyze是进行需要大量计算的数据分析的Web应用程序。 3。为项目管理开发原型应用程序：（i）ICOM通过短信，电子邮件和网页提供研究人员与研究参与者之间的交互式交流工具； （ii）IADM通过iPhone提供提醒和进度监控服务，以帮助研究人员快速交换信息并协调任务。上述微型IRDS系统的实现将（i）在自然环境中实时启用数据收集，（ii）快速管理和分析数据，（iii）提高研究管理的效率。使用标准行为和生活质量问卷，将使用十名吸烟者来评估IRDS系统的可靠性，有效性和其他特征。 IRD和相关方法的完整开发将在第三阶段进行，然后将扩展该系统以适应其他手机（例如，轮辋，Windows Mobiles和Symbian手机）出于业务目的。
