As the use of PRO expands in clinical trials, ePRO vendors themselveshave expanded beyond this constrained definition. Increasingly, the use of eCOA is being used to encompass all data collected related to the patient, which includes PRO, clinician reported (ClinRO) and observer or caregiver reported outcomes (ObsRO). Further, with mobile health technology use growing in general healthcare, that use is changing outcomes data collection in clinical trials. This e-Book tackles the changing world of PRO collection in clinical trials.
