The Evolution and Impact of ePROs in Clinical Trials

This webinar will examine the importance of electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) and how working at pace with methodological rigour led to the development of the Symptom Burden Questionnaire^TM (SBQ^TM), a new ePRO measure which includes 16 symptoms scales, each measuring a different symptom. The featured speakers will also talk about the feasibility trial of non-pharmacological interventions as part of the Therapies for Long COVID (TLC) study.

To avoid increasing health disparities in clinical trials, underserved groups should be included through PRO-specific ethical guidelines for clinical research so that patient-reported outcomes are collected.

Register for this webinar to learn about the impact of ePROs through a unique ePRO measure that is tailored to individual patient needs.
