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.
