Traditional assessment ratings are
Why QI?
Dedicated to improving measurement.
- Expensive to administer
- Vulnerable to bias
- Imprecise
- Plagued by poor resolution and sensitivity to treatments effects
- Gathered in an office or clinic, not in the real world
- These shortcomings decrease the signal-to-noise ratio of clinical studies and increase costs
Digital biomarkers increase the likelihood of successful clinical trials by
- Improving and enriching patient selection
- Monitoring interview quality
- Validating endpoints
- Characterizing treatment-responsive groups
- Hypothesis generation
- Measuring the impact of treatment on real world function
Challenges in the use of digital biomarkers
- Plagued by poor resolution and sensitivity to treatment
- Gathered in an office or clinic, not in the real world
- Complexity
- High burden for participants and sites
- Lack of clear purpose
- Black box modeling that is
- Uninterpretable
- Unreproducible
Our solutions
- “Sparse” approaches to technology & hardware
- No- to low-burden strategies for patients & sites
- Limited, clinically relevant feature sets
- “Intelligent” AI/ML with a priori selection of variables for inclusion
- Convert massive datasets to interpretable findings
- Evaluate progress in real-time in the participant’s natural environment
