Welcome to the Patient Rheumatoid Arthritis Data from the Real World (PARADE) Study.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a debilitating disease which can impact patients’ lives at many levels. At GSK, we believe that medicine development should start with learning from real patients and taking patients’ insights and therapeutic goals into the center of our research. To achieve this, we are seeking volunteers to monitor their health and share insights of how RA affects their lives.
We have designed a mobile app-based study, the PARADE App, which integrates with the Health Kit and Research Kit, and will use surveys and iPhone® (Apple Inc.) sensors to collect and track common symptoms of RA: joint pain, fatigue, mood, walk and quality of life. Although this study will not provide diagnosis or treatment, you can view your own study data and learn more about your condition.
This App is part of an exciting new program through which we will use patients’ insights and therapeutic goals to improve medicine development. Collecting data from mobile device may in the future also help reduce the burden of patients in clinical studies by reducing the frequency of doctor visits.
We sincerely believe your valuable insights will improve medicine development. If you are 21 years or older and diagnosed with RA, we hope you will consider participating in this study.
