Contributing towards more Patient-centered Health Technologies and Care
Placing patients at the core of methodological and applied research in health economics and outcomes research is an established approach which is fundamental to gain a deeper understanding of the patient journey and experiences, identify what patients care the most, and what they view as a “successful” treatment outcomes. It also provides insight into the side effects patients are willing to tolerate as part of their care. In the HEOR area, we are committed to promote patient centricity alongside the full technology life-cycle. We consider patient engagement for several aspects such as the design of clinical studies, the understanding of patient experiences with services and the use of certain health technologies, and in the assessment of treatments’ benefits.
WHAT WE DO
Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) and Patient Reported Experience Measures (PRE)
We conduct methodological research on the development and use of PROMs and PREMs along the entire innovation process.
Patient Preferences
We promote studies that elicit patient preferences regarding valuable treatments and healthcare delivery models.
Shared Decision-making
We develop and evaluate tools and technological solutions that support shared decision-making between patients and healthcare professionalsd during the entire process of care.
