Abstract
The research project includes the study of existing literature, specification of the research question, choice of the methodological approach and/or study design, statistical considerations (if applicable), regulatory considerations, description about the data management and/or data collection, analysis and interpretation of data (if applicable), and the written and oral reporting of the findings.
Objective
The students shall demonstrate their ability to carry out a structured, scientific piece of work independently. Hereby they will be able to use digital tools and new study concepts independently and responsibly to conduct pragmatic and patient-centric clinical research.
Content
Students enrolled in the MAS ETH in digital Clinical Research programme who have acquired at least the minimum number of required credits from two CAS are eligible to write the Master’s thesis. They will use the knowledge gained in the first two CAS of the MAS programme to design a clinical research project investigating a question within their area of interest. The 20-weeks research project must have a digital component, such as the use of digital biomarkers or remote patient monitoring. It must also take into account regulatory considerations. If a student considers conducting a clinical trial in context with their Master’s thesis, they must prepare a complete protocol as well as the necessary regulatory documents. Other approaches to the research question are possible in consultation with the supervising professor. In general, the research project includes the study of existing literature, the specification of the research question, the choice of the methodological approach and/or study design, statistical considerations (if applicable), regulatory considerations, the description about the data management and/or data collection, the analysis and interpretation of data (if applicable), and the written and oral reporting of the findings.
