Healthcare innovation is progressing rapidly, offering unprecedented opportunities to improve patient care. Advances in patient-focused sampling methods, digital health, real-world data, personalized medicine, and patient-reported outcomes are creating new ways to understand patient experiences, lessen burdens, and support more customized healthcare delivery and decision-making. However, this innovation may fall short of its full potential or fail to address the most urgent needs unless systems, research, treatments, and policies are intentionally designed around what matters most to patients.
At present, many points of interaction between patients and the healthcare system are suboptimal; for example, where provision of samples or data is unduly burdensome. In other cases, patients are not meaningfully involved in areas that would benefit from their input, such as defining patient-relevant endpoints for clinical trials. In this context, a dedicated forum for high-quality evidence, methods, and perspectives on patient-centricity is essential to ensure that innovation genuinely serves patient needs.
Published by Becaris Publishing in partnership with the Patient Centric Sampling Interest Group (PCSIG), the open access, peer-reviewed Journal of Patient Centricity (ISSN: 2978-8579) provides a rapid-publication platform for research, review and opinion across all aspects of patient centricity. The journal seeks to advance patient-centric approaches in the most impactful ways possible, helping transform innovation, diagnosis and treatment as healthcare continues to evolve.
Articles published in the Journal of Patient Centricity cover key areas such as:
- Patient involvement in research design, priority setting and endpoint selection
- Patient-centric sampling, point of care and near-patient testing technologies
Through thorough evaluation and broad coverage, the Journal of Patient Centricity offers its audience (including researchers, clinicians, patients, policymakers, and industry professionals) essential data and insights to advance the field.
The Journal of Patient Centricity is published alongside the Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research and The Evidence Base, a free-to-access online hub providing the latest news, opinions and insights into topics including real-world data and evidence, patient-generated data, health technology assessment, patient access to healthcare, and more.
