Consumer Engagement in Research
With instant access to health information, consumers are playing a larger role in managing their overall health "portfolio." That means that consumers are a very valuable resource in understanding individual patient outcomes.
caBIG® capabilities continue to play an ever-growing role as we move from a 20th century biomedicine design—with study protocols designed in isolation of the patient—to a 21st century biomedicine model that connects participants to the research community via the web.Presentations
