Paper Abstract:
|
Though clinimetrics in general and obtaining and sharing health related indicators are important in many clinical disciplines, obtaining and accessing this information in a flexible manner is an issue because of difficult-to-use programs, fixed instruments and poor access to clinimetrics tools and results. Hence, we developed and evaluated ReQuest, a novel Software-as-a-Service to create, share, conduct and manage clinical screenings and tests. ReQuest works in such a way that a wide variety of screening instruments can be provided on a wide variety of ways: online and offline; on smartphone, tablet and computer; guided by a professional and self-assessed. Both tests and results can be managed and shared among peers and patients. New screenings can be designed within ReQuest, a.o. in English, German and Dutch. ReQuest is successfully used in different EU research projects. Evaluation results show good acceptance in elderly asked to use the system for self-assessments. Researchers who use ReQuest to conduct and manage screenings, value (i) secure on-site storage, (ii) the flexibility in which they can create or reuse screenings and (iii) sharing screenings with others. |
