WP2 provides the critical clinical knowledge and patient insight needed to deliver all project objectives. The WP2 leadership will coordinate a Clinical Knowledge and Insight Task Force (CKI-TF) that will include: (i) patient partners; (ii) digital technology experts from WP3 and WP4; (iii) clinical/scientific experts in fatigue, sleep, mood, psychology, epidemiology, statistics and patient/public engagement, several of them from EFPIA partners. The CKITF will guide the clinical aspects for the design and implementation of digital solutions progressed by WP3 and WP4, participate in the selection of candidate digital endpoints for the CVS and provide clinical expertise to support the achievement of other WPs deliverable.  WP2 membership will reflect a strong patient-centric element to inform the design of clinical studies, interpretation of results and engagement with regulatory authorities. WP2 is also responsible for the design, organisation and execution of the Part A FS and for the design, supervision and result interpretation of the CVS.  WP2 is also providing clinical expertise and strategic direction for the digital device selection for the CVS, the preparation and participation to the EMA and FDA meetings, the support for HTA and payer interaction as well as for the sustainability plan. UCAM will develop the patient-facing, interactive online portal and integrated clinical operational database to support the FS and the CVS. The design of the clinical studies is enclosed in the Clinical Study Document and describe the initial view of this work.
