Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes (ePROS) Market Drivers and Opportunities

Emerging Applications of Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes (ePROS)

The emerging applications of electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) drive the market. The new uses of ePRO systems in decentralized clinical trials, remote patient monitoring, and other areas are stimulating innovation and extending the use of patient-reported outcomes in various healthcare, research, and clinical settings. The adoption of ePRO systems is driven by decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) growth. Patients can participate in DCTs remotely from the comfort of their homes, and ePRO tools are widely used for collecting patient-reported data immediately. The transition to virtual trials improves patient recruitment and retention; lowers the need for in-person visits; and increases trial efficiency of various diseases, including rare diseases, across geographically dispersed populations. In addition, the players are making strategic developments to meet the customers' needs. For instance, in June 2023, uMotif, a clinical trial technology company, and Syneos Health, an integrated biopharmaceutical solution company, announced a strategic partnership. By developing a more effective, end-to-end digital platform with electronic solid clinical outcome assessment (eCOA) and electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) capabilities—this partnership helped accelerate clinical trials and expedite the delivery of new therapies to patients.

ePRO systems are being used to monitor acute conditions such as post-operative recovery and chronic conditions, including diabetes and hypertension, as healthcare increasingly moves toward telemedicine and remote patient monitoring (RPM). To help healthcare providers make regular interventions and changes to care plans, patients can report symptoms, medication adherence, and treatment responses from the comfort of their own homes. This approach lowers the rate of hospital readmissions, enhances chronic illness management, and improves patient satisfaction by offering ongoing, individualized care without requiring frequent in-person visits.

The adoption of ePRO systems is propelled by the growing use of wearables, including smartwatches, fitness trackers, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the healthcare industry. Predictive healthcare interventions can be made possible by combining objective data from wearables with subjective patient-reported outcomes. This results in better condition monitoring and proactive condition management. Pharmaceutical companies are utilizing ePRO systems to monitor adverse events in real-world settings, helping them gain traction in pharmacovigilance and post-market surveillance, thereby ensuring long-term drug safety and efficacy while adhering to regulatory requirements.

Rising Adoption of Telehealth and Remote Monitoring to Offer Opportunity for Market Growth

The market for electronically reported patient outcomes (ePROs) is expected to experience lucrative opportunities with the rising adoption of telehealth and remote monitoring for clinical trials during the forecast period. Patients in remote or underserved areas can report real-time information from the comfort of their homes owing to telehealth and remote monitoring solutions, which increase the accessibility of patient data. Health data can be continuously transmitted via remote monitoring devices, such as wearables and linked health systems. When coupled with ePRO systems, medical professionals receive detailed information regarding a patient's condition in real time, enabling more precise and regular interventions. For example, Vivalink's integrated acute remote patient monitoring solution provides continuous and real-time monitoring of patient vitals, including live ECG, as well as information about vitals and biometrics, EPRO/ECOA/surveys, centralized data services, remote data collection, and patient adherence. The efficacy of ePRO systems is expanded by telehealth and remote monitoring developments, establishing them as a crucial element of patient-centered care.
