Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment (eCOA)
Patient-specific outcome measures in clinical trials
Electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA) is a method of capturing outcomes data electronically in clinical studies.
By recording outcomes data electronically, paper-based patient questionnaires or diaries are no longer necessary. eCOAs ensure high-quality data in compliance with data security and privacy requirements.
Using electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs), patients can enter their data themselves via a user-friendly interface. Thereby, physicians, clinicians and study nurses can save valuable time during the evaluation process, as translation errors, inconsistent or illegible answers can be avoided thanks to digital entry.
