Ambient data in clinical trials: the future of patient-reported outcomes
Collecting patient data through electronic PROs (ePROs) or electronic clinical outcome assessments (eCOAs) has been integral for patient centricity. These tools allow sponsors to meet patients where they are to gather real-time insights directly from the source, boosting patient retention and engagement. ePROs and eCOAs improve clinical trial outcomes with additional data points around a patient’s experience. However, the addition of consumer technologies that can collect ambient data points is poised to enhance outcomes even more, bringing treatments faster to those who need them most.
