For this edition of their webinar series “Keeping it real”, Dr Catherine Bottomley, Chief Scientific Officer, and Sam Llewellyn, Senior Consultant, discussed diagnosis validation in patient-centered research – specifically, alternatives to clinician-led eligibility confirmation for decentralized studies. A core part in recruiting for patient- and caregiver-reported studies is verifying eligibility of the prospective participant, referred to as diagnosis “validation”. This usually includes confirmation that the patient has a diagnosis of the disease of interest, but can also involve the validation of other participant inclusion criteria. Vitaccess is an innovator in digital research and an established partner in patient-centered research. In this webinar, we discussed how self- rather than clinician-led validation of diagnosis can be a necessary component of patient and caregiver research, and explored how this can be undertaken reliably when recruitment is not site-based.

Recorded as a live webinar, 10 May 2022, by Vitaccess and is included here with their permission.
