Clinical Tools

Some of the most impactful healthcare technologies, diagnostics, digital health tools, medical devices, and care solutions begin with observations made at the point of care.

University Health Network (UHN) researchers and clinicians have created internationally adopted tools that help healthcare providers assess disease severity, predict risk, measure patient outcomes, and support clinical decision-making and improve patient care.

Many of these tools are protected by copyright and may require permission or a licence for certain uses, including industry-sponsored research, commercial applications, software integration, or redistribution.  

Researchers interested in developing, protecting, or disseminating a new assessment tool are encouraged to contact the UHN Commercialization Office early in the development process.

Types of Assessment Tools

UHN supports a variety of measurement instruments, including:

  • Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)
  • Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs)
  • Quality-of-life questionnaires
  • Disease-specific symptom scales
  • Clinical severity scores
  • Functional assessments
  • Screening instruments
  • Risk prediction tools
  • Digital assessments and ePRO instruments
