> Multi-arm multi-stage (MAMS) platform trials by the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL — an overview of the advantages of MAMS trials, with teaching material

Is this like multi-armed bandit which marketing runs instead of A/B sometimes?

> Crossover trials by the Cochrane Training Handbook

Crossover study, Crossover Trial: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_study

But that's a different usage of the word "Crossover" than "Crossover" as an observed process and method of adaptation and optimization?

From 2019 re: "post-market" clinical data which is collected after clinical trials and regulatory approval: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21235358 :

> We really could get more out of this data through international collaboration and through linked data (e.g. URIs for columns). See: "Open, and Linked, FDA data" https://github.com/FDA/openfda/issues/5#issuecomment-5392966... and "ENH: Adverse Event Count / 'Use' Count Heatmap" https://github.com/FDA/openfda/issues/49

> With sales/usage counts, we'd have a denominator with which we could calculate relative hazard.

FHIR is a standard for sharing health data.

FHIR would be useful for sharing collected clinical data - for example vitals - with patients and their other providers if they choose.

FHIR could be useful for collecting chart data from clinical trial participants.

FHIR can be represented in JSON-LD, which is Linked Data in JSON such that no XML parsing is required.
