Open Source Technology Adoption in Japan
Project Scope |
|---|
This project promotes practical adoption of OST in clinical development in Japan through knowledge-sharing and community resources. Activities include case studies, practical guidance, training materials, and small-scale tools such as R-based utilities. The project focuses on practitioner support rather than regulatory policy. |
Problem Statement |
|---|
In Japan, the use of open-source technology (OST) in clinical development remains cautious and inconsistent despite global growth. This slows adoption and prevents the industry from fully realising the benefits of OST. |
Problem Impact |
|---|
This project will improve knowledge-sharing OST use in clinical development and RWD analytics in Japan and help practitioners make more confident adoption decisions. It aims to reduce duplicated effort, promote consistent practices, and improve efficiency and reproducibility. |
