Engage - Web User Guide

Target RWE has created an app called ‘Engage’. This is available as both a browser-based website and a mobile application. This tool will allow Patients to enroll in studies that they are both interested in and approved for. The purpose of this application is to facilitate Health Care Professionals (HCPs), patients, and the institutions running the studies to interact seamlessly, provide the ability to capture vital/valid data in a timely manner, and securely and sensibly handle that data.

There are many ways a patient can learn about available studies such as: via health care provider, physical paper, or email. Below is a walk through as to how to navigate through the ‘Patient Engagement’ Web Application.
