AIIA Clinical Trials Dashboard - a real-time, cloud-based, GCP-compliant Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) for Ayurveda research, with CDISC/FHIR-interoperable data, role-based KPIs, and integrated ethics, regulatory (CTRI / NDCT Rules 2019) and pharma covigilance tracking.
“Ayurveda researchers currently track clinical trials and patient safety reports using messy spreadsheets and disconnected tools, causing severe delays and compliance risks. We are building a secure, real-time cloud dashboard for the All India Institute of Ayurveda that tracks trials, monitors drug safety, and automates compliance with Indian and global healthcare standards.”
Deconstructed Problem Blueprint
WHAT TO BUILD?
A real-time, cloud-based Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) and pharmacovigilance platform tailored for Ayurveda research, featuring strict data privacy controls, CDISC/FHIR interoperability, and role-based operational dashboards.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Principal Investigators, study coordinators, Clinical Research Monitors, Institutional Ethics Committees, Pharmacovigilance Officers at NPvCC, institutional leadership, and regulatory bodies.
WHY DOES IT EXIST?
Ayurveda research is scaling rapidly and must meet global scientific credibility, but current tracking is fragmented across spreadsheets and isolated tools. This leads to delayed regulatory submissions, missed adverse-event reporting timelines, and severe compliance bottlenecks under strict Indian laws like NDCT Rules 2019 and DPDP Act 2023.
INPUT → PROCESS → OUTPUT ARCHITECTURE PIPELINE
Clinical trial protocols, synthetic patient screening and enrollment logs, e-Consent metadata, Adverse Event (AE) / Serious Adverse Event (SAE) reports, hospital information system (HIS) records, and CTRI registration details.
Data validation against CDISC standards (CDASH, SDTM, ADaM), HL7 FHIR R4 transformation for interoperability, automated pharmacovigilance signal detection, MedDRA/WHO-Drug coding mapping, role-based access control (RBAC) verification, and appending to an immutable, time-stamped cryptographic audit trail.
Real-time role-specific dashboards, automated early warning alerts for enrollment lags or overdue safety reports, submission-ready datasets (SDTM/ADaM, Define-XML), and executive compliance reports.
CONSTRAINTS
- Must comply with DPDP Act 2023 and 2025 Rules for data minimization and encryption
- Strict data residency on Indian cloud infrastructure adhering to ISO/IEC 27001 and CERT-In norms
- Adherence to Good Clinical Practice for ASU medicines (GCP-ASU) and ICMR ethical guidelines
- Immutable, ALCOA+ compliant audit logging for all data manipulations
JURY METRICS
- Data integrity and cryptographic audit trail completeness
- Timeliness of adverse event and regulatory reporting alerts
- Interoperability conformance with HL7 FHIR R4 and CDISC data models
- Granularity and security of role-based access controls
CORE BOTTLENECK
Implementing full CDISC (SDTM/ADaM) data mapping pipelines and an immutable ALCOA+ audit trail within a 36-hour hackathon window while maintaining strict medical dictionary coding (MedDRA/WHODrug) structures.
Why You Should Choose This PS (Pros)
- High social and national impact solving a critical gap for Ministry of Ayush and AIIA
- Clear deliverables with well-defined medical and regulatory standards (CDISC, FHIR, DPDP)
- Strong visual 'wow factor' via dynamic role-based dashboards and real-time safety alert feeds
Challenges & Risks to Watch (Cons)
- Complex domain knowledge required regarding clinical trials, CDISC, and pharmacovigilance rules
- Strict data privacy and compliance frameworks (DPDP Act, NDCT Rules) to demonstrate
- Crowded HealthTech domain requiring distinct execution on the Ayurveda-specific compliance angle

The All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA) conducts and coordinates a growing portfolio of clinical research in Ayurveda — interventional and observational studies, multi-centre trials — and, as the host of the National Pharmacovigilance Coordination Centre (NPvCC) for ASU&H drugs, it also anchors nationwide safety surveillance. This activity is governed by a demanding compliance framework: mandatory prospective registration in the Clinical Trials Registry – India (CTRI); the Good Clinical Practice guidelines for ASU medicine (GCP-ASU) and the ICMR National Ethical Guidelines; the New Drugs and Clinical Trials Rules, 2019 where applicable; Institutional Ethics Committee oversight; and timely Adverse-Event / Serious-Adverse-Event reporting. Yet study status, recruitment, milestones, data quality and safety signals are typically tracked across spreadsheets and disconnected tools, with no single, real-time, auditable view. The result is delayed decisions, missed reporting timelines and avoidable compliance risk — precisely as Ayurveda research scales and seeks global scientific credibility.
The platform is a real-time, cloud-based Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) and monitoring dashboard that gives AIIA a single, role-based, auditable view of its entire clinical-research portfolio.It tracks each study across its lifecycle — protocol and Institutional Ethics Committee approval, CTRI registration, site activation, screening, enrolment and randomization against target, visit and protocol-deviation compliance, data-query and data-quality status, study milestones and timelines, and close-out — surfaced as real-time Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) with configurable alerts (for example, enrolment lag, an ethics approval or CTRI update due, or an overdue monitoring visit).Because AIIA hosts the NPvCC, the dashboard integrates pharmacovigilance: it captures and routes Adverse Drug Reaction / Adverse-Event / Serious-Adverse-Event reports against regulatory reporting timelines, coded to standard dictionaries (MedDRA, WHODrug), and feeds aggregate safety signals to the Data Safety Monitoring Board and institutional leadership.Data must follow recognised clinical-research standards — CDISC (CDASH for data collection, SDTM for tabulation, ADaM for analysis) and HL7 FHIR R4 for interoperability with Electronic Data Capture (EDC), the hospital information system and Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) building blocks — with full ALCOA+ data integrity and an immutable, time-stamped audit trail. Access is strictly role-based (Principal Investigator, study coordinator, monitor, Ethics Committee, pharmacovigilance, administration, and read-only regulator views).The platform must comply with GCP-ASU, the ICMR ethical guidelines, the NDCT Rules 2019 and CTRI requirements, and with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its 2025 Rules — including informed-consent management, data minimisation, encryption, and hosting on compliant, data-resident cloud infrastructure secured to ISO/IEC 27001 and CERT-In norms, since clinical-trial data is sensitive personal data.
A deployable, cloud-based CTMS-and-analytics dashboard providing: a real-time portfolio view with per-study drill-down; configurable KPIs and alerting; strictly role-based access and an immutable, ALCOA+-compliant audit trail; CDISC-aligned data models and HL7 FHIR R4 / ABDM interoperability with EDC and the hospital information system; an integrated pharmacovigilance module (AE/SAE capture, MedDRA/WHO Drug coding, regulatory-timeline tracking) reflecting AIIA’s NPvCC role; CTRI and ethics/regulatory milestone tracking; informed-consent and privacy controls aligned to the DPDP regime; electronic-signature and data-integrity controls consistent with GCP; and the ability to export submission-ready datasets (SDTM / ADaM, Define-XML). It should present tailored dashboards for Investigators, the Ethics Committee, pharmacovigilance and institutional leadership, and be hosted on secure, data-resident cloud infrastructure (ISO/IEC 27001, CERT-In). The build can be staged — a core study-tracking and KPI MVP first, then EDC/FHIR integration and the pharmacovigilance module, then full CDISC submission export and advanced analytics. The system should be evaluable on data accuracy and integrity, timeliness of safety and regulatory reporting, interoperability conformance, and access-control and audit completeness.
