Opendelphi
No research study should be designed on one person's assumptions. Design data-collection instruments by expert consensus, grounded in current science.
From study goal to consensus instrument
How It Works
From study goal to deployed, consensus-backed data collection.
Describe
A principal investigator describes the study goals in plain language.
Draft
AI drafts candidate instruments grounded in validated research instruments and current literature — corpus citations are validated against the retrieval set, and ungrounded drafts are flagged for review.
Converge
An anonymous expert panel converges through structured Delphi rounds with convergence statistics and a full audit trail.
Collect
Consensus materializes into modular forms that contributing institutes deploy and fill under HIPAA-aligned access controls.
Consensus-driven instrument design, end to end
Every data-collection instrument on Opendelphi is traceable to an AI-assisted, expert-consensus process grounded in current science.
Delphi Consensus Engine
Multi-round expert panels with anonymity controls, convergence statistics (median, IQR, percent agreement), and moderator tooling.
AI Instrument Drafting
Drafting grounded in a corpus of validated research instruments and current literature. Corpus citations are validated against the actual retrieval set, and any item drafted without grounding is flagged for moderator review.
Open Round 0
Experts generate ideas first; AI clusters them. Anti-anchoring by default — AI-drafted starting points are strictly opt-in.
Modular Forms
Instruments compose from toggleable modules — clinical, demographic, pathology, and more. Each institute enables the modules it can fill.
Multi-Institute Collection
Jurisdiction, IRB, and data-use-agreement gates are checked before collection opens. Role-based access scopes every response to its institute.
Built for HIPAA Compliance
Row-level security on every PHI table, append-only audit logging, eConsent capture, and a de-identification pipeline for exports.
Interoperates with your research stack
Built to fit existing research workflows, not replace them.
REDCap
Round-trip REDCap data dictionaries — import existing instruments and export deployable ones.
CSV Export
Export study data as CSV with a field-level metadata sidecar documenting provenance.
ACIWriter
Hand off de-identified consensus findings to ACIWriter to draft research papers from your results.
Free for research use
Running a Delphi round or deploying a collection form will never be paywalled.
