Bringing PROMs into the Digital Age: Opportunities for Improving Care and Research by Dr Keith Bodger
In this lecture, we will explore the evolving field of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), emphasizing their growing significance, latest trends, and emerging opportunities for research across disciplines. PROMs seek to capture the patient’s voice, providing self-reported insights about symptoms, quality of life, and functional outcomes. Traditional clinical assessments may overlook important aspects of health status, or fail to capture the lived experience of patients in a standardised manner. PROMs have come a long way from simple surveys to sophisticated, digitally-enabled measures that can provide nuanced insights into patient experience. With expanding applications and interdisciplinary relevance, PROMs offer substantial research opportunities in clinical and digital health, data science, and policy domains. However, multiple challenges remain in realising their full potential in the UK health context. By addressing these, researchers can help unlock the benefits of PROMs, paving the way for patient-centred, data-driven advances in healthcare.
