The Innovative Support for Patients with SARS COV-2 Infections Registry (INSPIRE) studyis a CDC-funded COVID-19 project to understand the long-term health outcomes in recentlytested adults, both negative and positive, who have suspected COVID symptoms at the timeof their test. Participants will complete short online surveys every 3 months for 18months, share information about their health using a secure web-based platform, and arecompensated for their time.
This study will use a digital platform to longitudinally track comprehensive information
including patient self-report as well as data that describe the process and outcome of
care in the electronic medical record (EMR) of a large representative sample of patients
under investigation for SARSCOV2. The objective is to generate knowledge rapidly using
digital tools and collaborative sciences to produce real-time data, analysis, and
reporting compared to more traditional approaches. An additional goal is to promote an
open science approach whereby scientists, with proper approvals and in line with the
permissions granted by the participants, have the opportunity to work with data in ways
that protect individual privacy but promote rapid dissemination and implementation of
knowledge.
