Data collection is nothing new.
However, data drawn from a single registry cannot have 100% sensitivity to accurately project the incidence of these lesions nationwide, especially as this data collection is relatively new and does not have well-established quality indicators, such as for invasive cancer.
And you know in traditional fashion, the fact companies have sensors is nothing new, right, and the data collection is not really that new, but what's new is taking action.
He points out that passive data collection is hardly a new development, pointing to his smart phone.
Data collection is far from new; ancient Egyptians carefully compiled data about grain storage and much else.
Nevertheless, some groups (e.g., older, computer-illiterate, or socioeconomically disadvantaged patients) might be put at a disadvantage when data collection is conducted mainly via new media (i.e., computer-based assessments via internet-ready devices), as familiarity with such devices seems to play an important role for implementation of ePRO and patient recruitment [ 15, 16].
Predictive modeling and data collection may therefore be most productive when used as complementary iterative processes, with models highlighting where new data collection is most important, and surveillance data are continually improving the models.
Applications qualifying for submission under this FOA must rely exclusively on existing studies of human subjects; new data collection is permitted only for the purpose of obtaining blood from subjects so that DNA and cryopreserved lymphocytes can be generated as a renewable resource and stored.
Saturation (the point at which further data collection is unlikely to lead to new insights) has been described as an 'elastic' concept, and the desirable degree of saturation depends, in part, on the nature and breadth of the research question [ 27].
This new method of data collection is an extension of this, but into a realm we often (and mistakenly) treat as private.
