Voyager: Browsing and Automatically Extracting Healthcare
Data from Scattered Databases
Belmont
Research, Inc.
Cambridge, MA
Belmont Research
Inc., used an NIST Advanced Technology Program (ATP) award to develop
technology to help researchers transfer, query, and mine complex health
care data from a multitude of scattered clinical and administrative databases,
without requiring changes to the existing databases. A new software product
which incorporates some of the technology, TableTransTM, allows
data managers and analysts to carry out database transformations and queries
that are too complex for traditional tools, using a visual, step-by-step
user interface. This product is being co-marketed with IBM and has been
incorporated into IBM's clinical trials data capture and data management
software. In addition to being useful in drug development, this software
is also helping users to identify Year 2000 (Y2K) data problems and convert
data into a Y2K-compliant format. During the award period, Belmont
Research was acquired by Pharmaceutical Product Development, Inc.
(PPDI), which greatly enhanced Belmont's marketing capabilities.
