Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in Research AMED's Approach to PPI

AMED aims to bring research outcomes in the field of medicine to practical use as quickly as possible so that patients and their families are able to receive its benefits. For this aim, AMED promotes Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in medical research and clinical trials. Ultimately our work should support each patient's life, in terms of biological existence, diary living, and lifespans.

Definition

AMED envisions a form of PPI in which researchers draw on insights, advices and feedbacks from patients and the public in the medical research and clinical trial processes.

Note: Patient and the Public are defined as patients, their families, former patients (survivors) and future patients.
