Start with one use case
- One population and treatment stage.
- A clinical owner and research team.
- A documented device and regulatory assessment.
- An escalation pathway, response hours and backup contact.
- Prespecified endpoints and stopping criteria.
What a research pathway may provide
A traceable model from measurement to human action, plus evidence about feasibility, data quality and workload. Clinical benefit, avoided admissions and cost savings are not claimed before relevant results exist.
Before real patient data
- Ethics and legal review.
- Threat model, access control and audit logging.
- Contractual roles for operator, clinic, investigators and infrastructure providers.
- Separate informed consent and health-data documentation.
