The platform further will support industry and academic entities working with the foundation to enable researchers to collect longitudinal data, which will help them follow individuals over time.The inclusion of burden of disease data and patient outcome preferences also will ensure studies focus on the right questions and development of treatments that are important to patient, Gibson says.The Lupus Foundation of America expects the platform to launch in 2020.","saveContent":"The Lupus Foundation of America is developing a next-generation data platform to advance its research capabilities.The organization is working with Prometheus Research, a health informatics company, to create scalable registry databases to address current and future growth needs within the lupus research field.Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body, according to the foundation.
