From Data to Insights: How Folia's Outcomes Inventory Enhances Early Clinical Development Research Objectives

At Folia Health, we believe that understanding the true priorities of patients is key to advancing life sciences research and improving patient care. 

Folia Health's Outcomes Inventory is revolutionizing the research landscape by providing a patient-focused approach to capturing and analyzing experience data in a quicker and more cost-effective way. In this blog post, we will explore how Folia unlocks valuable insights and enhances the way that concept elicitation research is conducted:  

Folia's Outcomes Inventory enables the most comprehensive discovery of measurable disease concepts. By leveraging patient-focused technology, participants have the freedom to select and track their symptoms-of-interest from a wide range of potential outcomes. This approach enhances traditional methods by capturing an even more diverse set of outcomes, Home Reported Outcomes (HROs), which  include the identification of symptom severity, baseline health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and current treatments.

This not only reduces reporting burden but also ensures that the data collected aligns with the true priorities of patients. This structured data format eliminates transcription errors and enables additional analysis, empowering researchers with rich insights into the participants' disease burden. The result is a robust dataset that offers a complete view of the disease population's baseline, empowering researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the patient experience and tailor research accordingly.

Folia's Outcomes Inventory incorporates superior participant-adjusted analysis methods that drive meaningful insights. Researchers can unlock insights for highly heterogeneous conditions, providing valuable evidence to support various research objectives, including indication prioritization, study protocol development, and endpoint discovery and development.

To learn more about how Folia Health's Outcomes Inventory represents a significant breakthrough in capturing and analyzing patient experience data, check out our latest case study, where Folia captured 3x the insights over a qualitative interview-based project, in a quarter of the time. For instance, while pain was broadly identified in the qualitative interviews, Folia's methods revealed specific variations such as chronic pain, joint pain, and bone pain. This multifaceted approach allows researchers to grasp the true complexity of symptoms and their impact on patients' lives.


Folia Health's Outcomes Inventory represents a groundbreaking leap in understanding patient priorities. By embracing enhanced methods, Folia is revolutionizing the research landscape and paving the way for more effective research and care. With our approach, we are empowering both patients and researchers to unlock valuable insights that drive advancements in healthcare.
