Open Source Technology Adoption in Japan
Project Description |
|---|
This project aims to promote the practical adoption of open-source technology (OST) in clinical development in Japan by strengthening knowledge-sharing and providing community-driven resources. It focuses on supporting practitioners through case studies, practical guidance, training materials, and small-scale tools such as R-based utilities, rather than addressing regulatory policy. Despite increasing global adoption, OST use in Japan remains cautious and inconsistent, limiting the industry’s ability to fully realise its benefits. This project seeks to address these challenges by improving access to shared knowledge and real-world examples, particularly in clinical development and real-world data (RWD) analytics. By enhancing collaboration and providing practical resources, the initiative will support more informed adoption decisions, reduce duplicated effort, encourage consistent practices, and improve overall efficiency and reproducibility within the Japanese clinical research community. |
