Description: TITLE: SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT IN ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH
ABSTRACT: According to Alzheimers Association, Alzheimer Disease(AD) is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States that cannot be prevented or cured. A person suffering from AD shows different symptoms of memory loss to language disability (In later stage). To help millions of people and advance in the research of AD, Alzheimers Therapeutic Research Institute (ATRI) is an institute committed to advancing the development of new treatments for AD through innovation in clinical trials.
Software development, nowadays has become a vital factor in all research fields and I would like to introduce how it plays its role in Alzheimers Research. ATRI has been responsible in organizing more than 50 clinical trials and the Informatics team actively develops and maintains a secure data capture system to record and analyze the data received from trials. Being a software developer at ATRI, I would also like to share my experiences of different concepts and best programming practices that I have learnt.
