ABSTRACT
Outcomes of patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases have significantly improved over the last three decades, mainly due to therapeutic innovations, more timely treatment and a recognition of the need to monitor response to treatment and to titrate treatments accordingly. A major challenge for all stakeholders remains diagnostic delay. The combination of eHealth, serologic and genetic markers holds greats promise to improve the current management of patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases by speeding up access to appropriate care. The Joint Pain Assessment Scoring Tool (JPAST) project, funded by the European Union (EU) European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Health program is a unique European project aiming to enable and accelerate personalized precision medicine for early treatment in rheumatology, ultimately also enabling prevention. The aim of the project is to facilitate this while at the same time reducing cost for society and patients.
