PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOME MEASURES (PROMs)  IN THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The Role and Challenges of the Biostatistician in Elevating the Patient’s Voice
24-25 SEPTEMBER 2026 – PARMA

Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing how we evaluate clinical outcomes and quality of care.
In this scenario, Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) represent a valuable and still partially unexplored resource. The congress brings together Italian experts to explore the potential of AI applied to patient-centric data, focusing on predictive methodologies, integration into care pathways, and ethical and clinical perspectives.
The intersection of PROMs and AI offers significant opportunities, but it also poses methodological, ethi-cal, and practical challenges that require a critical and rigorous contribution from biostatisticians. The pro-gram pays special attention to data quality, model validation, reproducibility, transferability into clinical practice, and national and international research projects.
