The renowned TONiC study, one of the highest recruiting studies on the NIHR portfolio, is entering an exciting new stage. Backed by new funding, we will enhance our current model of collecting data using Patient Reported Outcome Measures by adding digital data collection via an app and biosample collection for genetic and other analyses.
