Electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO)

    In Data & data management

    An electronic patient-reported outcome is data reported directly by the participant through an app, device, or web form, with no clinician interpreting it. Common examples are symptom diaries, pain scores, and quality-of-life questionnaires. Because the participant is the source, the electronic record is usually the source data.
