Frequently asked questions

The results of your SudoTrial can help you sell your idea and build your reputation. Amidst a crowded market, customers and investors have increasingly high standards for health and wellness products. We provide methodologically rigorous evidence to support your claims and prove your value.

SudoTrials is for anyone who wants to prove their product or innovation works. SudoTrials are for anyone with data they want to put to work. Don't get stuck in the hassle of dealing with data science or LLM nonsense. Our system quickly and intelligently lays out what to get to answer your questions or what you can reputably do with what you have.

SudoTrials are typically retrospective observational trials, that means we use data that was collected previously without a traditional comparison like a drug versus a placebo. Many clinical trials involve recruiting large numbers of participants and monitoring them over time. SudoTrial works with the numbers you already have and the results are ready in minutes.

Approval from a Research Ethics Board or REB is a requirement for any clinical trial involving human participants. Only retrospective studies conducted using deidentified data are exempt. All data that enters the SudoTrial platform is automatically deidentified and anonymized. SudoTrials exclusively use anonymous data and do not require ethics approval.

We automatically deidentify every dataset that is uploaded to our platform. We do not share or sell any data provided by our users.

Our system automatically recognizes identifying information and removes it. Your data is completely anonymized, meaning that it cannot be reidentified. SudoTrials never saves identifying information, and your files remain unchanged in your system.

Example:

User id: John Smith
Email: johnsmith@example.com
Phone number: 555-123-1234

Would become something like:

User id: user-001
Email: user-001-email
Phone number: telephone-number-001

We don't save or use any personal information or personal health information, keeping your data safe and protecting the privacy of your users.

Our standard output template includes a comprehensive methods section, your results, and suitable visualizations. From there, you can share your SudoTrial as a whitepaper and adapt it into social media posts. Your results can be incorporated into sales materials or form the basis of an academic conference presentation or paper.

SudoTrials considers your research goals and the type and amount of data you have. Our suggestions are inspired by previously published studies to ensure they are interesting, novel, and impactful. We are not confined to a particular form of research or type of analysis, we handle qualitative interview studies just as well as we handle building an XGBoost predictive model.

Your priorities may not include bringing in a full-time Data Scientist right now. Some Data Scientists choose to use SudoTrials to generate new ideas or conduct analyses outside of their area of expertise.

There are a number of reasons why you should use caution if you ask ChatGPT or any other generative AI systems to analyze data. These tools may not be equipped to protect your important and sensitive data. Without a detailed, technical prompt, they may default to the simplest or most common methods. The results may change over multiple iterations and depending on the model and version you use. Output from these tools typically requires review from an expert to ensure it is correct, accurate, and free from hallucinations.

SudoTrials was built by experts in experimental design. We use deterministic methods to run all analyses to ensure the results are reliable and reproducible. Our system prioritizes accuracy and clear interpretation.

SudoTrials only suggests analyses that are suitable for your data. It is not always possible to perform a requested analysis with the data provided, but we'll do our best to recommend alternatives and find the best fit.

Rigor refers to the quality of strict precision or exactness. It is generally the goal when designing a scientific experiment and it is a concept we always keep in mind.

SudoTrials exclusively use deidentified data with no possibility of linking to participants. This protects participant privacy. Data is collected by client companies, according to each company’s policies.

SudoTrials is compliant with regional privacy laws regarding our users’ personal information. SudoTrials does not use or store personal health information collected by clients and does not require a Business Associate Agreement under HIPAA.

We use large language models, LLMs, to help us interpret your input and generate templates. We do not use LLMs to run our analyses, instead we use deterministic methods that produce reproducible results.
