For researchers
Develop measures in the real world
At PatientsLikeMe, we think it’s vital to create measures that focus not just on a disease, but on the people who live with it every day. That’s why, working with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we created the Open Research Exchange (ORE).
ORE is an online platform with the software and tools researchers need to develop and test new patient reported outcomes measures with patients.
It’s all part of PatientsLikeMe, a network with more than 380,000 people who actively share their experiences with 2,500+ different diseases and conditions to help themselves, help each other, and advance research. And they’re ready to help you develop your next measure.
ORE Case Study: Dr. Larry Alphs
Dr. Alphs’ project focused on creating a measure to study if a new drug can help to decrease suicidal ideation and behavior within a few hours.
