Practice of Patient Engagement

Body

Ensuring that patients remain at the center of the biomedical research ecosystem is a top priority for FasterCures. Our patient engagement work examines the current state of integrating patient perspectives and input in health care and medical product development. We also explore approaches and opportunities to meaningfully engage patients in biomedical R&D activities and provide insights, considerations, and resources that can help advance the current patient engagement practices across the ecosystem.
