Associate Director, Digital Measures, Patient Centered Solutions (PCS) Team

We are innovating the measurement of patient experience through digital health technologies!

IQVIA is a leading provider of scientific services spanning clinical trials, real world evidence, consulting, and technology.

PCS leads the industry in the science of measuring the patient experience. We pair strategic consulting expertise with technical scientific knowledge to design and execute scientifically rigorous research that incorporates the patient voice into the development and commercialization of new medicines. This research includes qualitative (e.g., patient interviews, focus groups), quantitative (e.g., clinical outcome assessments (COAs)/patient-reported outcomes (PROs), preference research) and passive (e.g., digital health technology tools) approaches to understand patient, caregiver and physician experiences and expectations of disease and treatment.

Our Digital Measures practice more specifically focuses on re-imagining the measurement of patient experience in clinical and real-world studies by establishing strategies and methodologies for development of digital endpoints and measures collected through digital sensors. Continuous measurements allow for understanding variability and exploring trends of patient experience within days, as well as between days, in comparison to single timepoint assessments and offers opportunities to broaden and deepen view into patient functioning and the patient experience in real-world setting.
