To support the successful adoption of digital measures into internal decision making and evidence generation for medical product development, we present a unified lexicon to aid communication throughout this process, and highlight key concepts including the critical role of participant engagement in development of digital measures. We detail the steps of bringing a successful proof of concept to scale, focusing on key decisions in the development of a new digital measure: asking the right question, optimized approaches to evaluating new measures, and whether and how to pursue qualification or acceptance. Building on the V3 framework for establishing verification and analytical and clinical validation, we discuss strategic and practical considerations for collecting this evidence, illustrated with concrete examples of trailblazing digital measures in the field.
为支持将数字措施成功应用于医疗产品开发的内部决策和证据生成,我们提出了一个统一的词汇表,以协助整个过程中的沟通,并强调关键概念,包括参与者参与数字措施开发的关键作用。我们详细介绍了将成功的概念验证扩大规模的步骤,重点关注新数字措施开发中的关键决策:提出正确的问题、评估新措施的优化方法,以及是否以及如何寻求认证或认可。在建立验证以及分析和临床验证的V3框架基础上,我们讨论收集此类证据的战略和实际考虑因素,并列举该领域开创性数字措施的具体示例加以说明。
