Abstract
The value of the results in every clinical study depends on the quality of the captured data and the analysis process. The goal is to discover and prove a scientific matter, to do this the data has to be valid, easy to access and understandable. To capture data is often a complex, time consuming process that could go on for multiple years, it's a process done for all studies. Imagine the possibility to reuse the captured data in similar future projects, it will reduce the need for capturing new data and give researchers access to more data to use in their analyzes.

This thesis introduces a platform constructed for a newly formed research group, the platform is for capturing and storing data to ease the workload of the researchers in a... (More)

This thesis introduces a platform constructed for a newly formed research group, the platform is for capturing and storing data to ease the workload of the researchers in a clinical study regarding COPD. The platform will provide a standard for the captured data, the feasibility to reuse the data in future projects and improve the quality in the captured data to improve the analysis process. A web application is used, utilizing REDCap software, fo implementing the platform for this study resulting in an important tool for tracking data (Less)
