ePROs and eDiaries

UBC develops electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO), electronic diary (eDiary) and electronic clinician-reported outcomes (eCRO) systems as a cost-efficient and convenient means of collecting critical patient data.

Our eDiaries allow both patients and providers to input information via telephone or through a secure web page. Their responses, regardless of data entry mode, are entered directly into a central database where they instantly update individual and aggregated diary data.

We integrate multiple data entry systems (e.g., IVR, web-based data capture and PDA) so that study coordinators can monitor patient progress and compliance in real-time. These technologies, together with our patient outcomes research, create an unparalleled solution for all your ePRO, eDiary and eCRO needs.
