Global ePRO E-Patient Diaries Market: Key Trends and Drivers

• ePRO E-Patient Diaries are especially important in planning therapy for diseases with a vague therapy-to-response thread, where clinical data often does not point in one direction, and in cases where what works for one individual might not work for the other. Prime examples of this are inflammatory conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Still's disease, etc. Hence, individualizing therapy becomes important, leading to growth in the market. 

• Earlier, patient data and response recording was done on paper. But disadvantages of this technique are many, most prominent being the bad recall that patients have for entries made in haste, and individual handwritings make it difficult for the treating physician to follow-up on collected data. E-patient diaries deliver ePRO’s on the spot, and in coherent language that is easier to send to a physician connected to the patient via an online sharing application.

• With 5 billion people globally owning a smart phone device or equivalent, the global E-patient diaries market is due to grow as more and more people integrate therapy with technology. Moreover, 57% of the world's population is estimated to be suffering from some chronic disease by the end of 2020. As e-patient diaries have a good role to play in therapeutic feedback for such diseases, this market will grow steadily into the future.
