Use Case: Dynamic Consent Management

CTRL is designed to facilitate dynamic consent management in research studies, enabling participants to have ongoing control over their data. Here's how CTRL can be effectively utilised in a research context:

1. Participant Onboarding

Participants can be onboarded through the CTRL platform, where they can create an account and provide their initial consent for data usage. This process is streamlined and user-friendly, ensuring that participants understand what they are consenting to.

2. Consent Management

Participants can log into the CTRL platform at any time to review and update their consent preferences. This includes opting in or out of specific studies, changing their data sharing preferences, and accessing information about how their data is being used.

3. Data Updates

Participants can update their personal information, directly through the CTRL platform. This ensures that the data remains current and accurate, which is crucial for research integrity.

4. Communication

Researchers can communicate with participants through the CTRL platform, providing updates on research progress, new studies, or changes in data usage policies. This fosters transparency and trust between researchers and participants.

5. Compliance and Reporting

CTRL helps ensure compliance with ethical and legal standards by maintaining a clear record of consent preferences and data usage. Researchers can generate reports on participant consent status, which is essential for audits and regulatory requirements.

6. Participant Empowerment

Participants are empowered to make informed decisions about their data. They can easily access information about the research, understand how their data will be used, and exercise their rights regarding data privacy and consent.
