Using neo4j to manage biological tests in clinical trials

Question

I’m new to neo4j but I’m intrigued by the it’s ability to relate events in temporal space. I’m in the pharmaceutical industry and was wondering if that such system/database is being used for managing information in a trial and data that is produced in one throughout various time points.

Looking forward to see any use-cases or hear the thoughts of the community.

Answer 1

Probably you want to look at event-based patient or trial journeys. There are some articles out there, but obviously not much since the data is hard to get:

There is also a public neo4j db that imports various clinical trials, which is available at:
