In clinical research, ePRO and other electronic methods of data capture have become standard tools. From outcomes data collection to informed consent, sponsors build electronic data capture methods into trial designs but may not fully account for older users’ challenges.

This ebook explores older adults’ perspectives on technology, their challenges, and applies these findings to recommendations and best practices when designing protocols and data capture solutions for them.
