Electronic patient-reported outcome measures using mobile health technology in rheumatology: A scoping review.

<h4>Objective</h4>This scoping review aims to characterize the current literature on electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) in rheumatology and assess the feasibility and utility of ePROMs and mobile health technology in the management of rheumatic disease.<h4>Introd...
