Abstract
The history, issues and result of the development of the computer decision software tool used for the two tight control and treat-to-target CAMERA (Computer Assisted Management in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis) studies are described. The software tool is simple and can be used with various protocolled strategies and visit intervals both in clinical trials and daily practice, because it does not dictate strategy steps and is independent of visit intervals. The tool gives information on whether enough improvement since the last visit is present and whether there is remission or not. With this information, strategy steps according to various protocols and treatment arms can be taken.
