An electronic patient-reported outcome symptom monitor: the Chinese experience with rapid development of a ready-to-go symptom monitor.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Monitoring symptoms is crucial for the early detection of disease progression and timely intervention, which is essential for reducing severe cases and mortality rates in rapidly spreading pandemics, such as COVID-19. Therefore, during infectious disease pandemics, the rapid development of real-time symptom monitoring platforms is essential. This study aimed to explore the urgent development process of an electronic system for patient-reported outcome monitoring in emergency situations.

Methods

The development of the electronic patient-reported outcome COVID-19 symptom monitoring platform (ePRO-CoV-SM) included the following steps: (1) modifying an electronic patient-reported outcome symptom-reporting platform to assess patients with COVID-19 and validating its fe
