Abstract

This project, which has already received approval from Health Canada, the Québec Ministry of Health and Social Services and the Montréal Heart Institute's Ethics Committee, seeks to evaluate a colchicine-based treatment, including its impact on mortality rates and pulmonary complications. The scope of the task (recruitment of a cohort of 6,000 subjects) and the extremely tight deadline (as quickly as possible) for this type of project require the implementation of new digital recruitment and follow-up tools.
