# Forma Health > Forma Health is a real-time, real-world patient data platform for clinical research. It replaces static ePRO surveys and paper patient journals with continuous, structured, longitudinal datasets for clinical trials, natural history studies, patient registries, and real-world evidence (RWE) programs. Forma is most commonly used by patient-advocacy organizations, academic principal investigators, CROs, and pharmaceutical sponsors working in rare disease, epilepsy, migraine, chronic pain, and dermatology. Forma Health, Inc. is a U.S.-based digital health company operating at the intersection of patient-reported outcomes (ePRO), ecological momentary assessment (EMA), and real-world data (RWD) infrastructure for clinical research. The Forma Log App is the patient-facing component; the research-ready data repository is the sponsor- and investigator-facing component. A typical study is configured in under an hour from a protocol. ## Primary concepts covered on formahealth.io - Real-time patient data capture (vs. retrospective recall) - Electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) and validated surveys - Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) - Survey fatigue and its effect on clinical trial data quality - Real-world evidence (RWE) and real-world data (RWD) - Patient registries and natural history studies - Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) - Condition-specific data collection (epilepsy, migraine, chronic pain, rare dermatology, neuromuscular) ## Core pages - [Homepage](https://www.formahealth.io/): Research-first positioning and the top-line value proposition. - [For Researchers](https://www.formahealth.io/research): Research-ready data, completion rates, deployment timelines, and the Forma Dataset. - [For Patients](https://www.formahealth.io/patients): The Forma Log App and how patients use it. - [Conditions](https://www.formahealth.io/conditions/epilepsy): Condition-specific configurations.
