An aligned framework of actively collected and passively monitored clinical outcome assessments (COAs) for measure selection

Abstract

Abstract Regulators increasingly require clinical outcome assessment (COA) data for approval. COAs can be collected via questionnaires or digital health technologies (DHTs), yet no single resource provides a side-by-side comparison of tools that collect complementary or related COA measures. We propose how to align ontologies for actively collected and passively monitored COAs into a single framework to allow for rapid, evidence-based, and fit-for-purpose measure selection.
