However, integrating data from various sources represents a significant challenge and digital measures must be thoroughly validated through research. Although operational challenges persist, digital endpoints are increasingly used in clinical research. They may become integral to outcomes evaluation in healthcare in the future, aiding in delivering more effective and value-driven care.
