Managing Research Data:Mechanical testing and modelling of bone-implant constructs Dr Caroline Grant Medical Device Domain Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation
Instron load cell: • Force • Position • (1-10MB per test) • FARO arm • Position • (<1MB per test) γ β • Strain Gauges • Surface strain • (deformation) • (50-100MB per test) 5 computers Total up to 300MB In ~100 files Per test, raw data α 3 sample types 7 load cases • Optotrak • Optical position • tracking • (50-200MB per test) • JR3 6 axis load cell: • Force x3 • Torque x3 • (~100kB per test)
Solid model from CT, align to mech test FARO arm data • ~ 200MB CT • ~ 2-10GB per analysis • 1 test = up 10+ analyses
Total data generated last 9 months of PhD • Mechanical testing – 4.25GB • 1655 Files, 225 Folders • Modelling – 1.47TB • 7072 Files, 1456 Folders
Researchers nightmare • Research at a children’s hospital • Human ethics approval for clinical research on children in the intensive care unit • Raw data, processed data, analysed data ~8 years of data • IT department : New backup system! Yay! • All processed data corrupted • Some analysed data corrupted • Some raw data corrupted • Saved by having our own backup system (after having been advised not to) • IT repeatedly claimed there was no problem with the system • Threatened to sue • Involved data safety monitoring committee • This is a major problem because: • Unethical • If you breach data safety monitoring guidelines, ethics will not approve future studies • If you can’t get ethics approval, you can’t get grants. • By QUT’s guidelines this data needs to be kept for 25years after the date of birth of the last child recruited
