Brian Tiplady, Ph.D.
– Senior Scientific Consultant 
Dr. Tiplady was trained as a Neuroscientist, working first in academic research, then with the Swedish pharmaceutical company Astra (later part of AstraZeneca). He was responsible for projects in central nervous system clinical research, first in depression, and then in senile dementia. In Dr. Tiplady’s 27 years in the pharmaceutical industry, he has been involved with all stages of the clinical trial process, from being an investigator in human pharmacology studies, through monitoring, project management, data handling and IT, statistical analysis and reporting. Starting in 1993, he became increasingly involved with electronic diaries and questionnaires, having set up some of the early evaluation studies which showed high patient acceptability of these systems. He supported a variety of in-house projects at AstraZeneca using handheld diaries, and worked with strategic and logistic issues involved in effectively using electronic data collection of patient reported outcomes, and in evaluating the benefits obtained.

The devices may have changed over the years, but many of the same benefits and concerns remain 40 years later. In this webinar, Dr. Brian Tiplady with invivodata’s PRO Consulting division and Ken Kolenik with invivodata, will dicuss:
- Evolution of site-based PROs

White Paper: “Electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO): Focus on Site-Based Assessments”
In this White Paper, Dr. Brian Tiplady reviews the extensive literature on electronic forms of site-based PRO data collection, addresses issues regarding patient acceptance and whether ePRO can be used interchangeably with paper questionnaires, and offers recommendations for obtaining the best value when collecting patient assessments electronically at the investigative site.
