PatientsLikeMe Calls for Researcher Participation in New Open Research Exchange(TM) Platform - MarketWatch

"Today, PatientsLikeMe announces an open call for medical researchers to be among the first pilot users of its Open Research Exchange(TM) (ORE) platform (www.openresearchexchange.com). ORE puts patients at the center of the clinical research process and allows researchers to pilot, deploy, share, and validate new ways to measure diseases within PatientsLikeMe's community of more than 200,000 members. The new platform and call for participation is being spotlighted today at the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) conference in New Orleans. Supported by funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, PatientsLikeMe's ORE is available for free to any researcher who wants to: -- Leverage new, specialized tools to quickly design and field measures based on patient questionnaires; -- Rapidly test new measures with real patients in multiple iterations, and get feedback on their instrument development; -- Be among the first to browse and contribute to the world's only open library of patient-reported instruments and health measurements ..."
