Foundations & Frontiers of PROMs
This inaugural session offers a comprehensive introduction to patient-reported outcome (PRO) measurement, exploring both established foundations and emerging frontiers in the field. This session will provide participants with essential knowledge about how patients’ perspectives on their own health, symptoms, and quality of life can be systematically captured and analyzed. The session covers fundamental concepts in PROs while also examining cutting-edge developments, particularly the transformative role of artificial intelligence in revolutionizing how these outcomes are collected, processed, and interpreted.
