Integrating daily patient-reported information into clinical care: the Remote Monitoring of Rheumatoid Arthritis (REMORA) study
Professor Will Dixon – Consultant Rheumatologist, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust & Professor of Digital Epidemiology, University of Manchester
“How have you been in the last six months?” Hard to describe, isn’t it? Yet this is the first question hospital doctors typically ask at outpatient appointments for people living with long-term conditions. In this session, we will describe the REMORA (Remote Monitoring in Rheumatoid Arthritis) programme, including findings from our proof-of-concept study and ongoing research. REMORA uniquely allows patients to track their daily symptoms using a smartphone app then integrates that data into the electronic health record to provide a visual summary of symptoms and a clear picture of how patients have been in the last six months.
1320-1330
