Future Plans

Convert-Pheno already supports a broad set of clinical and phenotypic data formats. The next steps are mainly about learning from more real datasets and improving the parts that users find most useful. These are priorities rather than promises for a particular release.

CDISC ODM

Work with more EDC exports

Test files produced by REDCap, OpenClinica, and other ODM-based systems so differences between real exports are handled clearly.

Recent inputs

Learn from more datasets

Use cBioPortal, FHIR and mCODE, Dataset-JSON, Dataset-XML, and openEHR data from independent projects and refine the mappings from their feedback.

Mappings

Fill useful gaps

Add fields and records when source datasets contain meaningful information that has a clear place in the target format.

Large studies

Reduce memory use

Improve how large FHIR and CDISC datasets are processed when representative files show where the current in-memory approach becomes limiting.

Beacon v2

Support more BFF records

Add entities such as analyses and runs when an input format provides enough information to create useful, valid records.

Additional formats

Follow real use cases

Consider formats such as SAS XPORT, C-CDA, and PCORnet when there is a concrete user need and representative data for testing.

Validation

Keep examples and checks current

Add representative datasets and continue checking generated files with the validators available for each target format.
