CLARA is more than just an acronym for Carevive’s Longitudinal Assessments and Reporting Assistant. In fact, Keckler describes CLARA as serving as someone to represent and assist patients as they navigate and use this Carevive PROmpt program throughout their cancer journey. “She was created to help humanize what could otherwise be an impersonal experience for patients.”

“The goal is to keep patients connected,” Still added. “Every clinician’s goal is to care for their patients and provide the best possible care that they can, and we think that CLARA really helps to extend those efforts.”

Carevive believes CLARA can become a patient partner in their journey and will help them utilize the ePRO tool more regularly and effectively.
