Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes (ePROs)
Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes (ePROs) are digital platforms designed to enable patients to report their health status directly to healthcare providers via electronic means. These tools streamline the collection of patient data by allowing individuals to submit information about symptoms, quality of life, and treatment side effects through mobile apps or online portals. ePROs are extensively used in clinical trials to gather real-time data on patient experiences and outcomes, enhancing the accuracy and timeliness of research findings. They are also valuable in chronic disease management, where ongoing monitoring of patient-reported symptoms can guide treatment adjustments and improve personalized care. By facilitating direct communication between patients and providers, ePROs contribute to more informed decision-making and improved overall patient care.
