What

Patient Engagement

Explore ways to engage patients to allow them to directly share their RWD (EHR data, PROs, AE, etc.) with clinical research.

Patient engagement gives sponsors and CROs an opportunity to gain invaluable data input and feedback from stakeholders who have traditionally not been viewed as a core part of the study team – patients.  

Why

Improves Data Flow & Quality

• Enhanced patient empowerment
• Streamlined data sharing
• Reduces manual data entry burden 
• Enriches data quality
• Expands safety surveillance
• Improves patient experience
• Facilitates longitudinal studies
• Supports regulatory decisions
• Enables decentralized clinical trials
• Provides a secure pathway for return of data from sponsors
• Accelerates research and innovation

Benefits

Enhanced Health Management

NIH studies found patient engagement technology:  

• Helps reduce barriers to clinical trial participation
• Improves retention (particularly under-represented populations)
• Provides a more complete understanding of the impact of an intervention, therapy, or service 

Sharing RWD provides the research team with a broad set of data in near real time, improving patient surveillance / safety while minimizing data errors and reducing study costs.
