Research Experience

Department of Family Medicine, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada Research trainee/ MS.c Candidate, Dr. Tibor Schuster & Dr. Bertrand Lebouche

Context: I completed two subprojects of I-Score CTN 283 study. The broader aim of the I-score study is to develop a mobile health app for improving treatment adherence among HIV patients and to implement a platform trial design for testing different versions of the health app.

Overall, the goal of my research was to determine the feasibility of platform trial design for developing mobile health applications improving treatment adherence among HIV patients. I conducted my research as two separate projects.

Project 1: Conducted a review of the medical literature. Extracted the data about the ethical, pragmatic, and technical issues associated with the platform trial design. The results informed the I-score CTN283 study about the pros and cons of Platform clinical trials.

Project 2: Conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study on the HIV cohort’s data in Montreal (Cohort de Montreal). Characterized and compared the study and target population to be recruited for the platform trial. Resume Asma Aqib
