ABSTRACT

Patient-reported assessments are transforming many facets of healthcare, but there is scope to modernize their delivery. Contemporary assessment techniques like computerized adaptive testing (CAT) and machine learning can be applied to patient-reported assessments to reduce burden, improve accuracy and provide individualize, actionable feedback. The Concerto platform is a highly adaptable, secure and easy-to-use console for developing and administering advanced patient-reported assessments that can harness the power of CAT and machine learning. In this paper, we introduce readers to contemporary assessment techniques and the Concerto platform. We review advances in the field of patient-reported assessment that have been driven by the Concerto platform and explain how to create an advanced, adaptive assessment, for free, with no prior experience of CAT or programming.
