This NIH grant aims to advance the development of biomarkers and clinical outcomes derived from digital health technology (DHT). The funding supports their integration into clinical trials for remote monitoring, serving as primary or secondary endpoints. To enhance statistical feasibility and promote standardization, applicants must develop and rigorously test these digitally derived assessments across populations spanning at least three distinct diseases or conditions. A mandatory requirement for this grant is the establishment of partnerships with non-profit patient advocacy organizations, ensuring broader clinical impact and stakeholder engagement. This initiative seeks to revolutionize clinical trial methodologies through innovative digital health solutions.
