Collaboration with the ON-LiMiT project :tada:
The Novo Nordisk Foundation has given researchers across different research centers, such as Steno Aarhus, a grant to run a large study to see how lifestyle changes can help with diabetes remission and management. Like with DP-Next, the Seedcase eam will be collaborating with them on their data infrastructure, engineering, and architectural needs.
Novo Nordisk Foundation has given a grant to several centers, including Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus, to conduct a large study on how lifestyle changes can help people with diabetes. This is the summary of the project:
“ON LiMiT (Optimal Non-pharmacological LifeStyle Modifications in people with Type 2 diabetes), is a large randomized controlled intervention study, conducted in collaboration with the Steno Diabetes Centre in Aarhus, Odense and Copenhagen, as well as the University of Copenhagen and Bispebjerg Hospital.
The trial aims to investigate whether it is possible to achieve and maintain remission of type 2 diabetes through weight loss and lifestyle changes.” — ON-LiMiT (translated from Danish)
Because of the size and scope of this project, and their own ambitions, especially around the types and volume of data they will collect, they were looking for collaborators to help with the data infrastructure, organisation, and management side of things. Since the Seedcase Project aims to do just that, they connected with us to see how we can work together.
In the end, they (and DP-Next) decided on collaborating with us! And, we officially have our team member Kris as their data architect. She’ll be the main contact point between the two projects’ data needs and our team 🎉
Another exciting collaboration project! And because both DP-Next and ON-LiMiT are aiming to work closely together with their data collection protocols, it will mean we can have similar pipelines and infrastructures for both projects 😁 Which means what we learn and build in one project can be fairly easily applied to the other.
With the ON-LiMiT project, we will be working mostly on:
- Setting up and building the data infrastructure
- Designing the data structure and pipeline
- Processing and structuring data after collection
- Structuring the data to make it easier for later sharing and analysis
Like the DP-Next project, ON-LiMiT doesn’t officially start until September 2025, but they will be collecting data almost immediately. So there’s lots to do before hand! But still very exciting 😁
