Abstract

Web technologies have changed software development. The changes affect a full range of applications as well as the way users interact with computers. In the health domain, clinical research demands a lot of investment, effort and information in order to safely commercialize a new drug. The WebInVivo project aims at providing automated support for clinical research based on Web technologies. It includes mechanisms for sharing and reusing clinical trial information, such as protocols, protocol data, workflows and workflow metadata and for controlling the protocol life cycle, from modeling to execution. In this project, knowledge from the biomedical area permeates three segments of Brazilian society: (a) research and development, (b) health agents, and (c) the population. This knowledge will be made available through social networks for these segments of Brazilian society.
