Benefits of ePRO
ePRO market adoption continues to rise, with virtually every major biopharmaceutical using eDiaries to collect patient self-reports in clinical research. The key drivers for this continually increasing adoption, in addition to technology maturity and regulatory support, are ePRO's proven ability to deliver superior data quality over paper, while increasing trial management efficiencies.
