Evolving Description of ACTS Collaborative Participant's COVID-19 Knowledge Ecosystem Efforts
Identify Studies | Review Evidence | |
|---|---|---|
Current Approach | Hand search databases for potentially relevant studies | Team members review evidence by hand and extract data into srdrPLUS. Once extraction is complete we consolidate in case of double extraction using srdrPLUS consolidation tool. This is machine assisted / semi-automated. |
| Pearls/Tips Learned | ||
| Desired Approach | Daily automated scans. Abstract of new evidence is run against every project in srdrPLUS and its corresponding learned models. Every abstract that surpasses a custom relevance threshold is then passed to the project lead. | Fetching of evidence could be automated. If there was a single source of PDFs or source of the evidence data that hasn't been curated yet but contains all the study data it could be made computable within srdrPLUS and then made available in a standard format for downstream consumption. |
