Yvonne Adebola is Medical Writer and Healthcare Research Consultant specialising in the use of Patient Data. This ranges from the use of patient-reported outcome measures; routinely collected data from primary care; data derived from wearable medical devices and more. Beginning collecting patient data in the context of a clinical trial, I have now accrued international experience across healthcare research and communications for patients, carers, the public, healthcare professionals, regulatory bodies across pre-clinical, clinical and real-world research.

In her early career, Yvonne worked in clinical trials collecting patient acceptability and discrepant data investigating which elements of the self-test kits patients found user-friendly (SH:24); on the pivotal RADAR-CNS research programme, involving the use of wearable devices to collect patient data, understanding what was insightful or burdensome to patients; for Signant Health, a leading provider of patient technologies where she focused on electronic data collection of patient-reported outcome measures in clinical trials; and for a medical communications agency including an instant messenger focused on protecting confidential health information. She also participated as a Voice for the Future early career scientist posing questions on science policy to MPs in Westminster and was named the best writer in the history of a Medical Communications Agency (2018).

Yvonne now works as a Consultant Medical Writer with a focus on patient-centred data and communications.
