020 Real-time capture of patient-reported outcomes using a digital platform – a pilot study

Objectives To demonstrate proof of concept/feasibility of a novel digital platform using real-time capture of patient-reported outcomes for real-world research involving patients with epilepsy. Methods The phone app collects multi-faceted patient-reported outcomes including seizure frequency, medication side effects, mood, anxiety, quality of life and cognition along with voice and digital images. Patients are invited through a national consortium of 18 adult epilepsy centres in Australia. The patient-reported information potentially allows feedback to their treating specialists and tertiary centre in near real-time, along with deidentified aggregation across all participating centres for comparison. Currently, more than 40 patients are enrolled. We present the outcomes of one patient, with the longest-running data points. The new platform was developed by KeyLead Health TM, Melbourne Australia. Results The results report a single patient’s composite scores for mood, sleep, cognition seizures and medication side-effects from the first 1.5 months. Conclusions Our digital phone platform has the potential to facilitate the more effective and efficient capture of longitudinal data enhancing real-world research data integrity along with patient and specialist engagement.
