CAPTURE was developed in partnership with the Duke Clinical Research Institute to identify when patients have been hospitalized utilizing readily available geo-mapping technology on mobile devices. CAPTURE will be used to capture clinical events, typically hospitalizations, which may not be captured through traditional trial mechanisms. By establishing geofences around nearby medical facilities, when the patient has been at the hospital for a predetermined time, a notification is sent to the study coordinator who will then be able to follow-up with the patient/ caregiver to identify whether a hospitalization has occurred. As patients travel, the list of nearby, geofenced medical facilities is updated.
CAPTURE was developed for both Android and iOS.
