Electronic patient-reported outcome measures using mobile health technology in rheumatology: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This scoping review aims to characterize the current literature on electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) in rheumatology and assess the feasibility and utility of ePROMs and mobile health technology in the management of rheumatic disease.

Introduction

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are commonly used in rheumatology as they are important markers of disease activity and overall function, encourage shared decision-making, and are associated with high rates of patient satisfaction. With the widespread use of mobile devices, there is increasing interest in the use of mobile health technology to collect electronic PROMs (ePROM).

Inclusion criteria

All primary studies that involve the collection of ePROMs using mobile devices by individua
