Why measure home-reported outcomes (HROs)?

Explore the possibilities of a novel, patient-driven datatype that captures a full view of individual phenotypes and response to therapy

Major partners have generated evidence with Folia across nephrology, hematology, immunology, and rare disease. Studies can start small and generate publishable insights in months, not years.

What are HROs?

Home-reported outcomes (HRO) account for any health observation reported directly by patients or caregivers outside of the clinic via in-app tracking adjusted to the specific experience of each condition and user. When coupled with validated PROs and relevant RWD, HROs offer longitudinal datasets of symptoms, outcomes, and care.

Why HROs?

We support precision outcomes measurement through app-driven data collection that taps patient health experiences as close to real time as possible at home, work, school, and beyond. We generate longitudinal observations of symptoms, outcomes, and treatments, offering a higher volume of datapoints per participant than current methods. This becomes participants’ single source of truth, increasing engagement in care management and research.

We have a personal and professional stake in your success. We partner with sponsors, clinicians, and patients, providing support from concept and development to analytics and program strategy. Our data scientists start by customizing solutions to unique studies, expertly analyzing health data from Folia’s proprietary collection methodology for a complete understanding of symptoms, outcomes, and treatments.

We integrate HROs with other key sources of medical health information for an enriched, multilayered dataset. We then leverage proprietary patient-adjusted endpoint analysis to boil the ocean down to what truly matters to your unique research objectives, identifying condition burden, therapy impact, and population heterogeneity. Other point-in-time assessments lack the precision and comprehensiveness needed in experience and outcomes research.
