TRANSVERSAL PLATFORMS

Consolidating the platform requires a number of telephone calls and emails, therefore
Supported
the investigators are provided with a customized helpline. The system is available 24/7
tasks
and provides services to staff during working hours (from 8 am to 7 pm) which allows

reacting to problems suitably. To prevent data loss in the event of a technical problem,

total and partial database backups are scheduled on a daily and weekly basis. The sys-
tem has a built-in helpdesk option as well as help documents explaining the content of

all the system’s variables.

This application was developed taking the following options into account:

• Recruitment of patients and controls for transverse and longitudinal projects.

• Mandatory and optional forms.

• Sharing of patients between different projects (particularly important for con-

trols).

• Collection of clinical, demographic, genetic and imaging data.

• Support for different user profiles (project leader, data collection, centre mana-

ger, etc.).

• Report management.

• Data collection and activity statistics in the last period.

• Consolidated data export for statistical analyses through standard applications.

• Multiple user, multicentre, ubiquitous access.

• Support of standardized questionnaires.

• Support for several languages

• Internal quality control on data and collection quality indicators.

Three new projects, namely, AGES-CM (Environments and Genes in Schizophrenia),
Specific Activity
Psychoeducation, and 2EPs (Second psychotic Episodes), were incorporated or are
conducted in
currently under the coding process.

The application has been completely refactored, such that there is now a new code
which uses the latest web technologies:

XMLHttpRequest.DOM (Document Object Model)

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)

Jquery (Framework de Javascript)

AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And Xml)

This recoding has allowed speeding up the global search and improving interrelation 0
between projects.

Finally, support has been given to requests for changes and modifications in the diffe- O

rent projects and specific errors in the system have been corrected (changes in coding, R

incorrectly exported variables, etc.).
