Clinical research software is used to manage large amounts of data involved in the daily operations of a clinical trial. It often provides data to business intelligence services.
Questioning word bias in psychology refers to the phenomenon where the use of different question words (e.g. "how," "why," "what") can influence the type of response individuals provide. For example, asking "why did you do that?" may lead to a different response than asking "how did that happen?" This bias highlights the importance of being intentional with the language used in research and clinical settings to avoid influencing participants' responses.

The best biometric design for a clinical trial is a double-blind trial comparing the drug against another drug, or placebo. This means that neither the doctor nor patient can tell which treatment the patient is on. To do this both treatments must look identical. Sometimes this is not possible, perhaps 1 drug is a pill, and one is a liquid. In this case biometrics dictates that a double blind double dummy design is used. A dummy liquid is made up to look like the active liquid, and a dummy pill is made up to look like the active pill. Patients then are given either the active pill and the dummy liquid, or the active liquid and the dummy pill.
