Adapting computerized processes for matching patients with clinical trials to increase participant engagement and retention

A method performed by one or more computers of a server system, the method comprising:

• storing program data for each of a plurality of programs that involve monitoring using remote devices, the program data comprising, for each of the programs, (i) a program profile indicating characteristics of the program and (ii) configuration data for configuring a remote device to carry out monitoring for the program;
• collecting, from the respective remote devices, monitoring data that is generated for the programs by the remote devices, wherein the monitoring data is provided over a communication network;
• adapting a scoring process for prioritizing the plurality of programs for different remote devices by altering at least one of a model, a scoring function, or the program profiles based on the collected monitoring data;
• and
• distributing, to each of one or more of the remote devices, configuration data corresponding to one or more programs identified for the one or more of the remote devices using the adapted scoring process, wherein the configuration data is provided over the communication network, and wherein the configuration data enables the one or more of the remote devices to carry out monitoring for the one or more programs corresponding to the configuration data.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that are operable, when executed by one or more computers of a server system, to cause the server system to perform operations comprising:

• storing (i) a program profile for each program in a set of programs managed by the server system, (ii) records specifying sets of remote devices associated with the respective programs, (iii) profiles respectively associated with the remote devices and candidates for the programs, and (iv) configuration data for configuring remote devices to carry out monitoring specified by the respective programs;
• selecting, for each of multiple remote devices, a customized set of the programs having a ranking of the programs determined based on a scoring process that uses the stored profile associated with the remote device and the program profiles, the customized sets of programs being selected to balance allocation of programs among the remote devices to satisfy (i) constraints for the programs regarding amounts and types of participants for the respective programs and (ii) constraints for the remote devices including limitations on device capabilities of the remote devices or resources available to be allocated to the programs;
• distributing, to each of the multiple remote devices, configuration data for at least one of the programs in the customized set of programs selected for the remote device, the configuration data being distributed over a computer network such that the remote devices receiving the configuration data initiate automated sensor measurements and presentation of surveys as specified in program data maintained for the program by the server system;
• obtaining, from each of the multiple remote devices, monitoring data that is generated for the programs by the remote devices and is provided over the computer network, the monitoring comprises receiving a series of messages from each of the multiple remote devices in which the messages in each series of messages include results of different data collection events performed by the remote devices for a program in accordance with the configuration data for the program;
• adapting the scoring process for prioritizing the programs for different remote devices by altering values in the program profiles and at least one of a model or a function used in the scoring process, the adaptation using the obtained monitoring data as feedback to control adjustment of the model or function based on rates at which the obtained monitoring data indicates that remote devices have satisfied requirements for data collection or data quality;
• and
• causing, by the one or more computers, each of one or more of the remote devices to carry out monitoring for one of the programs selected based on the adapted scoring process by distributing configuration data corresponding to one or more programs identified for the one or more of the remote devices using the adapted scoring process.
