Patients

PROMIS tools measure what patients are able to do and how they feel by asking questions. The answers are accumulated into reports that can be used by patients and physicians to manage disease and design treatment plans.

When used with traditional clinical health measures, PROMIS tools allow health care providers to better understand how various treatments might affect what patients are able to do and symptoms they experience.
