ARUK 2018 | The potential of the Dementias Platform UK clinical studies register

Recorded at the Alzheimer’s Research UK (ARUK) Conference 2018, held in London, UK, Anna Myers, from the University of Oxford, Oxford, UK, explains how clinical trials into dementia research can be enhanced by using cohort data collected by Dementias platform UK, such as details about the lifestyle of the patient, medical records and even level of education. Investment into this project has allowed for the creation of a secure data portal storing data from over 570, 000 patients, and international researcher access to statistical software packages that can be used to analyze this data.
