A task performed by Clinical Research Coordinators
Code, evaluate, or interpret collected study data.
Technically, much of it, experts rate AI capability 4/5, but workers don't want it automated (desire 2.8/5). It's an Automation Red Light: proceed with care.
Do you want this task automated?
How much the people who do this task want AI to take it over (avg of 10 workers).

How to automate this
Doable with technology, but keep a person clearly in charge.
Analyzing & processing data
Let the spreadsheet or a BI tool do the math and the charts.
- 1Set up formulas and pivot tables once, so the numbers you need to code, evaluate, or interpret collected study data recalculate themselves.
- 2Connect a free dashboard so reports refresh themselves (Looker Studio, Power BI).
- 3Use AI to summarise the findings, but keep the numbers in the spreadsheet.
