Prostate Check
(PRAISE-U)
Digital Infrastructure for a multi-national clinical trial aiming to reduce prostate cancer mortality through smart early detection.
Core Technologies
Frontend
Bootstrap 5, SCSS/SASS, Webpack Build System
Backend
WordPress (Custom), PHP 8.0, Custom Relational Schemas
Integrations
REDCap REST API (PHPCap SDK), Mailgun API, ERSPC Risk Calculators
The Challenge
Managing the Patient Journey in a Global Clinical Trial.
The PRAISE-U project required a secure, multi-sided ecosystem that could manage the end-to-end patient diagnostic journey. The challenge was bridging the gap between public participant enrollment and professional clinical data capture, ensuring research-grade data standards across multiple EU member states.
The Medical Practitioner Portal
I developed a dedicated "Medical Staff" subsystem that transformed the platform from a simple registration tool into a clinical workflow manager. Consultants use this secure portal to record specific clinical findings during the patient's journey.
- 01Result recording for DRE, TRUS, MRI (PIRADS) and PSA levels.
- 02Integrated ERSPC European Risk Calculators for real-time decision support.
- 03Custom risk stratification logic assisting in diagnostic decisions.
- 04Secure, segregated authentication for clinicians managing sensitive patient data.
Technical Excellence
Research-Grade Data Integrity.
REDCap SDK Bridge
I architected a real-time synchronization bridge using the PHPCap SDK. Every clinical data point entered by a consultant in WordPress is instantly pushed to the study's secure REDCap project, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring 100% researcher-ready data integrity.
Code Quality & Security
Handling sensitive medical data required rigorous standards. I integrated JetBrains Qodana into the CI/CD pipeline for automated static analysis and security scanning, ensuring the core platform adhered strictly to medical informatics best practices.
The Outcomes
Workflow Digitization
Successfully moved a complex, traditionally paper-based medical trial into a unified digital environment.
Data Sync Latency
Real-time REDCap synchronization eliminated the delay between clinical testing and research analysis.
Decision Support
Clinicians received instant cancer probability outcomes directly within their existing dashboard workflow.
Data Integrity
Adhered to clinical standards with automated security scanning and strict validation protocols.
