The Five Reliable Collection Methods and Devices Used to Collect ePRO

While the flurry of new patient-owned mobile devices may seem adaptive to ePRO collection and perhaps practical, using the patient's own technologies to capture ePRO can be risky for many reasons including

• Psychometric validity of multiple types of devices, and
• Data security and compliance with regulatory guidelines.

...using the patient's own technologies to capture ePRO can be risky for many reasons...

Each ePRO collection method and device must be thoroughly vetted in order to comply with various FDA, EMA and country regulations and requirements for clean, attributable data. As a result, there are currently five proven and tested ePRO technologies used by sponsors today (listed alphabetically):

1. Hand Held Device: Electronic data capture on a mobile device with a central system that allows for web review;
2. IVR (Interactive Voice Response): Keypad or voice data capture with a central system that allows for web review by site and sponsor;
3. Internet Web data capture with a central system that allows for web review by site and sponsor;
4. Pen: Digital pen that captures data and uploads to a central system that allows for web review; and
5. Tablet: Electronic data capture on a tablet mobile device with a central system that allows for web review.
