eCOA

Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment (eCOA)  refers to the use of digital technology and devices, such as smartphones, tablets, or web-based tools, to collect patient-reported data on clinical outcomes. This data can include information about a patient’s symptoms, quality of life, or treatment experiences. eCOA systems are designed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of data collection and enhance patient engagement in clinical research, particularly in trials focused on patient-reported outcomes.
