- Designed to enhance communication between clinicians and patients in diverse research and clinical settings
- Created to be relevant across all conditions for the assessment of symptoms and functions
- Available in multiple formats and easily integrated into diverse administration platforms. Try the PROMIS CAT Demo>>
