BYOD: Are The Barriers Of Patients Using Their Own Mobile Devices, Myth Or Reality?
Source: ICON Plc
It is unclear whether “Bring your own device” BYOD, will lead to significant cost savings, but reducing logistics is likely to make study management less complex. More importantly, BYOD promises greater patient-centricity by enabling patients to conduct assessments using the convenience and familiarity of their own hardware devices.
BYOD is a topic often discussed in the context of electronic clinical outcome assessments (eCOA) but there has been limited use of BYOD in regulatory studies to date and common perception is that delay in uptake is from two main concerns:
- Measurement equivalence: The differences in the eCOA instrument display due to device screen size and resolution might adversely affect its measurement properties.
- Technical and practical issues: Lack of control of the patient’s hardware, for example being unable to prevent operating system upgrades mid-study, or having no control over the device storage space availability.
