Synthèse

Regulatory and health technology assessment bodies increasingly recognize the value of incorporating patient perspectives during product development and evaluation. Patient experience data encompasses patient-reported outcomes, clinical assessments, and preference information, yet their integration into decision-making remains inconsistent. This collection seeks to advance understanding of how different stakeholders approach patient experience data to ensure patient voices meaningfully influence healthcare decisions.

The collection invites original research, reviews, and discussion papers examining how patient experience data—including preferences, symptoms, and quality of life measures—can inform regulatory and HTA submissions and decisions. Contributions addressing recent developments in the field and exploring emerging applications such as artificial intelligence and digital health technologies in patient experience research are particularly encouraged.
