Patient-Generated Health Data (PGHD)

Patient-Generated Health Data (PGHD) refers to health information that individuals collect and record about themselves outside of clinical settings. This includes data from devices like fitness trackers, blood pressure monitors, or symptom diaries, as well as personal health observations. PGHD helps patients actively participate in their care, providing valuable insights to healthcare providers for more personalized and effective treatment. It empowers individuals to monitor their health continuously, improve disease management, and support shared decision-making, ultimately enhancing overall health outcomes.
