> ABOUT MEASURE ONTOLOGIES

If a digital measure has been reported — it's tagged in Atlas

Give your team the tools they need to develop digital measures for your population with Atlas and our Measure Ontologies
‍
Constructed from systematic literature review and expert curation, our ontologies link 14,000+ measures with reported outcomes and technologies

> SAMPLE CONCEPTS

Cardiopulmonary & Physical Activity

Activity duration, frequency, intensity
Gait, range of motion, balance
Heart rate, heart rhythm, respiratory patterns

Endocrinology, Gastrointestinal & Nutrition

Body composition, weight
Glucose monitoring, hydration

Genitourinary & Reproduction

Urinary dysfunction, hot flashes, neonatal activity

Hematology, Oncology, Infectious Diseases & Immunology

Blood-based biomarkers, immunological metrics, measures of infectious pathogens
Dermatological function, such as scratch

Neuropsychology, Head, Eyes, Ears, Nose & Throat, Sleep

Sleep, eye movement, body temperature
Cognition, pain, voice/speech

Non-physiological

Ambient light, ambient sound, ambient temperature, location
User acceptance, ease of use, quality of life

> MEASURE CATEGORIES [ALT]

Cardiopulmonary & Physical Activity

Measures across the movement spectrum, cardiopulmonary fitness, and function. Ex: Range of motion, hand strength, lung volume

Endocrinology, Gastrointestinal & Nutrition

Measures related to the body, metabolic function, and disease. Ex: Body composition, body mass index, diabetes mellitus

Genitourinary & Reproduction

A blend of the urinary and reproductive system measures. Ex: Genital function, renal function, neonatal activity

Hematology, Oncology, Infectious Diseases & Immunology

A spectrum of blood-based biomarkers, immunological metrics, measures of infectious pathogens, and dermatological function. Ex: Scratching parameters, blood alcohol concentration

Neuropsychology, Head, Eyes, Ears, Nose & Throat, Sleep

Neurological, psychiatric, ophthalmic, and otolaryngology metrics. Ex: Activity during sleep, neural activity, skin temperature

Non-physiological

Many of the measures that might not capture biometric data but remain important to deploying digital health technologies. Ex: Concepts of interest, healthcare outcomes, utility and usability

> USING MEASURE ONTOLOGIES

The only data platform in the world that links digital measures with specific contexts of use

Seamlessly implement the Measures that Matter* framework, moving from Meaningful Aspect of Health (MAH) to Concept of Interest (COI) and then Outcome to be measured

* — Co-authored by our team!

Explore measures related to your study

Find measures in our ontology related to your Concepts of Interest or Meaningful Aspects of Health

Run a targeted literature review

Every measure in Atlas is linked to observed outcomes & can be filtered to your context of use

Understand the full context of a measure

Understand how a measure has been assessed, including conditions and technology — all in a matter of seconds

Driving Towards Measures that Matter

We’ve cataloged over 3,000 measures of activity and 1,000 measures of sleep. These numbers need to shrink, not grow — read how Measure Ontologies make it easier to deploy digital measures in our latest blog post!

> BUILDING COMMUNITY

Industry consensus required

In September 2022, the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) launched Digital Measures: Nocturnal Scratch as a Digital Endpoint. These kinds of projects are vital as the DCT industry expands.

By simplifying the number of measures and reaching true standards, we can all move the industry towards better, more equitable outcomes for patients.

We continuously update this resource — if you’re working on new measures please let us know about your outcomes!
