"Hey, Rock."
"Huh?"
"Something, the questions on this clinical trial app have changed from yesterday."
"Adaptive design."
"What?"
"The person who analyzed Sakura's clinical trial data wanted to change the questions."
"Oh, but if you don't look closely at the screen, you'll end up entering something completely different than usual."
"I think there was a message when you started the app."
"Ah, maybe there was a notification, but I didn't look closely."
"Sakura doesn't see the banner, it's dangerous, not doing it right, report, report to the doctor."
It's been about a year since Rock came to my house, and he still says some things I don't understand, but my clinical trial is going well and seems to be getting some decent results. The fact that I'm feeling great probably supports that.
As I said to Rock earlier, the questions on the app changed for the first time today. Up until now, the app itself has been updated several times to add new features or fix problems with the screen display. However, the questions are always the same, such as questions asked every day, questions asked only on Sundays, questions asked on the first day of each month, etc. I had always answered the same questions, but today about five questions different from the previous ones were displayed.
Rock says that this is adaptive design, but when I looked it up on Google, it was all technical jargon, and all I could understand was that it was "a new technology that supports clinical development in the 21st century." Well, it seems that the questions asked to me have changed because of some new technology.
By the way, to receive my medicine, I used to go to the pharmacy with the prescription sent to me by email, but recently the app added a feature to deliver it to my home (by drone). I'll try that next time. I wonder if they'll come to deliver it like they did when Rock broke the other day.
