Find the question
Start from a small idea or a passing interest. Set a hypothesis against the data and carry it into a study.
1. Polyps in the forties are trending up
2. In which patients?
3. Those with metabolic disease on recordWith metabolic disease38%Without19%
4. Show me adenomatous ones only
Test the hypothesis and publish
Once you have IRB approval, test your hypothesis statistically against real-world data and cite that data in the paper you submit.

Does this need IRB review?: The exploratory stage runs without review. Results are de-identified and counts for very small groups are not shown, so it does not constitute research using identifiable information. Once you settle on a hypothesis and move to the study itself, IRB approval is required.
Is any patient's personal information visible?: No. Every identifier is removed before analysis, counts for very small groups are not shown, and only the minimum clinically meaningful information is used.
Can I use this for a submission or a regulatory response?: Not as is. Once you have IRB approval, you can review the de-identified source records behind a finding and use them either as a citation in your paper or as supporting material in a regulatory filing. We help you prepare for that review.
Where are the patient records stored?: Everything is stored encrypted, and records stay in the country the patient consented in.
