QDA software provides innovative support to researchers and practitioners
Medical clinics and research laboratories address questions of universal relevance. The analysis of complex or chronic diseases, such as cancer or AIDS requires the examination of diverse data sources and types. In their search for underlying illness factors and potential cures, medical researchers must evaluate and summarize large volumes of information, e.g., the course of a disease and forms of treatment. These tasks can be greatly facilitated by professional digital support.
ATLAS.ti, one of the world’s leading software programs for qualitative data analysis (QDA), provides strong support to researchers in a variety of fields. In the area of medical research, the program’s tools and functions can be implemented to evaluate and interpret patient data, including medical charts and treatment programs. Streamlined in a single project file, relevant data can be effectively managed, analyzed, and interlinked, as well as displayed in visual representations. Researchers’ analysis and conclusions can be clearly traced, thus enhancing accuracy and transparency.
As a long-standing leader in innovative multimedia features, ATLAS.ti provides capable assistance in handling text, video, and audio files. Various file types can be segmented, commented, and categorized. Finally, based on user-defined categories, ATLAS.ti can search through all project documents on command to retrieve specific information, e.g. to determine the specific conditions in which two or more symptoms appear simultaneously. ATLAS.ti supports researchers in defining and testing their hypotheses, which can be re-accessed and revised to reflect new findings at any time.
ATLAS.ti has been successfully implemented by numerous renowned universities, corporations and research institutions worldwide. In the medical field, ATLAS.ti’s customers include the Mayo Clinic, WHO, International HIV/AIDS Alliance, Boston Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, and the Medical Research Council.

About ATLAS.ti
ATLAS.ti was originally created as part of an interdisciplinary research project at the TU Berlin from 1989 to 1992. Program developer and founder of ATLAS.ti GmbH, Thomas Muhr, later revised the program and released the first commercial version in 1993. Committed to the principles of innovation and an uncompromising dedication to quality, the developers and staff at ATLAS.ti GmbH maintain close ties to practitioners, researchers, and consultants worldwide. ATLAS.ti ranks among the most powerful tools in the area of knowledge management and data analysis today and continues to set new standards in its field.
