The team comprised Oon Jing Shen, Tan Ke Ying, Looi Zhi Wei and Ngam Li-Bin. Their project, From Registry Records to Research Intelligence: A Domain-Specific Living Evidence Platform for Wound Clinical Studies , addresses practical challenges in wound clinical research, including inconsistent terminology, fragmented research information, and the need for up-to-date evidence. The platform uses publicly available clinical trial registry data to harmonise terminology, classify wounds, analyse research trends, link publications, and enable continuous updates. It provides researchers and clinical teams with a traceable and reusable tool, with particular value for research on diabetic foot ulcers and other chronic wounds.
