Incorporating Patients' Perspectives in HTA

This session explores different approaches to capturing and applying patient perspectives in health research and decision-making. Presentations examine use of a visual analog scale for measuring health, social care, and carer-related quality of life; integration of patient experience data into clinical trial design; treatment burden and quality of life in Colombian patients with nAMD and DME; and the frequency and impact of patient input in HTA decisions for cell and gene therapies in the UK, Canada, and Australia.
