Quality of life (QoL) is affected by environmental influences and varies between patients. A combined measurement through Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) and Patient Generated Data (PGD) may enhance the detection of QoL impairments by a longitudinal survey. Leveraging different approaches of QoL measurement techniques, the challenge is to combine data in a standardized, interoperable way. We developed an app (Lion-App) to semantically annotate data from sensor systems as well as PROs to be merged in an overall analysis of QoL. A FHIR implementation guide was defined for a standardized assessment. To access sensor data the interfaces of Apple Health or Google Fit are used instead of integrating various provider directly into the system. Since QoL cannot be collected exclusively via sensor values, a combination of PROs and PGD is necessary. PGD enable a progression of QoL which offers more insight into personal limitations whereas PROs give insight about personal burden. The use of FHIR enables structured exchange of data while personalized analyses might improve therapy and outcome.
