Abstract

The era of patient-focused drug development (PFDD) brings with it a greater use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in clinical trials. This is facilitated through electronic technology designed to capture PROM data. However, PFDD goes beyond just PROMs, and technology has a key role in capturing timely and patient-relevant information through active and passive means to inform study endpoints. This brief paper aims to highlight four trends the authors have observed across the pharmaceutical industry in using technology to enhance PFDD: (1) capturing qualitative data from patients; (2) using digital health technology tools (DHTTs); (3) employing reactive technology-enabled clinical outcome assessments TeCOA; and (4) generating passive patient experience data. Opportunities and challenges associated with these trends are discussed, and a ‘call to action’ is made to consolidate learning and understanding across science, medical and technology disciplines, and to conduct collaborative research to improve the opportunities and minimize the challenges.
