About this trial
The study aims to test on a cohort of rare patients a digital innovative tool to support patients/parents in the informed consent and assent process and to keep up-to-date a lawful informed and dynamic consent and to use samples and data for research purposes. This will favour their engagement in clinical studies, a step which is well known to be very demanding, particularly in the rare diseases scenario, and stimulate a bidirectional dialogue between researchers and patients/parents/legal representatives.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Test the usability of dynamic consent in a cohort of rare patients
Collect a satisfaction questionnaire - proposed to all participating patients and carers - aiming to aim of identifying pitfalls and opportunities of this innovative consenting approach

The survey that will be circulated to the different stakeholders and the evaluation questionnaire that will be requested from the participants will allow us to gather opinions and feedback on what has been achieved, in order to evaluate and implement a model that corresponds to the existing panorama, and subsequently also to improve it in terms of use, in the light of the content collected.
