Health Data Research UK Selects MMS as Partner for International COVID-19 Data Alliance
MMS Holdings Inc. has been selected by Health Data Research UK as a partner to support the International COVID-19 Data Alliance (ICODA) initiative. MMS was selected from a pool of the world’s clinical research organizations to provide data engineering services to support a globally coordinated, health data-led research response to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.
ICODA is an open and inclusive global collaboration of life science, philanthropic and research organizations that have come together to harness the power of health data to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Uniting data from a broad set of contributors will enable discoveries that will help treat and prevent COVID-19 and coordinate effective data responses to health challenges of the future.
During the pilot phase of the project, MMS will provide flexible service levels based on the capability of each contributor to transform their data to ICODA standards. The MMS biometrics and data science team will provide simple guidance to the full range of data services and data mapping as needed.
After the pilot completes, MMS data scientists will use learnings to develop tools to further enable contributors such as open-source code and training that academic researchers can use to transform their own data. Additionally, later phases of the engagement may include data mapping and incorporation of real-world health data.

The Rise of Predictive Engagement Tools in Clinical Trials
November 22nd 2024Patient attrition can be a significant barrier to the success of a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Today, with the help of AI-powered predictive engagement tools, clinical study managers are finding ways to proactively reduce attrition rates in RCTs, and increase the effectiveness of their trial. In this guide, we look at the role AI-powered patient engagement tools play in clinical research, from the problems they’re being used to solve to the areas and indications in which they’re being deployed.
