对于许多临床研究团队来说，招募志愿者参与临床研究仍然是一个重大挑战，因此密歇根大学密歇根临床与健康研究所（MICHR）开发了UMClinicalStudies（www.UMClinicalStudies.org）--一个将社区链接到临床研究单一网关的Web应用程序。UMClinicalStudies（以前称为“Engage”）是MICHR努力增加临床研究参与以推进医学发现的一个组成部分。尽管该应用程序取得了初步成功，但参与研究的障碍仍然存在，包括潜在研究志愿者和研究团队成员的应用程序可访问性。作为回应，发起了新的倡议，以确定用户的需求，以扩大能力，同时协助研究人员招募活动，同时也帮助潜在的志愿者探索和参与临床研究的机会。为此，通过广泛的系统分析，并通过人机交互过程的应用，为公众和研究受众确定并实施了界面和功能的改进，从而显著改善了可用性并最终提高了研究志愿服务，这表明利用此类技术是接触更广泛受众参与临床试验的关键。《临床和跨学科》2011年;第4卷：363-368
Recruiting volunteers into clinical research remains a significant challenge for many clinical research study teams, thus the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR) at the University of Michigan developed UMClinicalStudies (www.UMClinicalStudies.org)-a Web application that links the community to a single gateway for clinical research. UMClinicalStudies (formerly named "Engage") is an integral piece of MICHR's efforts to increase clinical research participation in order to advance medical discoveries. Despite the initial success of the application, barriers to research participation remain, including the applications accessibility for potential research volunteers and study team members. In response, new initiatives were instigated to identify user needs, in order to broaden the ability to simultaneously assist researchers in recruitment activities, while also aiding potential volunteers in the exploration of and participation in clinical research opportunities. To do this, improvements to the interface and functionality were identified and implemented for both the public and the research audiences through extensive system analysis, and through the application of human computer interactivity processes, resulting in significant improvements in usability and ultimately research volunteerism, indicating that utilizing such technology is pivotal in reaching broader audiences for clinical trial participation.
