The Division of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (Kvinneklinikken in Norwegian) is responsible for the processing of your personal data after it has been transferred from the app to the research server at Oslo University Hospital (OUS, Kvinneklinikken at OUS). The Principal Investigator is responsible for the day-to-day running of the research project and that information about you on the hospital's secure research servers is processed in a secure manner. Any information about you will be de-identified and will only be used in connection with this research study.
You have the right to inspect the information that is registered about you and the right to have corrected any errors in the registered information. All information will be processed without names and national identification numbers or other personally identifiable information (PII).
The data that you enter in the MumCare app will also be stored on your own mobile phone in addition to de-identified data being sent to the secure research server at OUS. Local storage is provided such that you can monitor your own health data, while the de-identified data are the basis for academic research at OUS and University of Oslo (UiO). You are responsible for ensuring that others do not accidentally look at your data on your phone, if you do not want them to.
Answers to all questionnaires, as well as log data on how you use the app, are sent via Nettskjema at the UiO and stored safely at Services for Sensitive Data (TSD). Only a limited number of authorized personnel connected to the project can link app-data to the list of participants of the MumCare study, in order to support the study.
Experiences from the study will be published in Norwegian and international scientific journals and at conferences. It will not be possible to identify you in the results of the study when these are published.
The Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics (REK) has approved the MumCare study until September 1st 2029. REK has decided that all study information about you will be anonymised 5 years after the end of your studies, i.e. no later than September 1st 2034.
