Surveys ask you questions about different aspects of your health. As a participant in a clinical trial, your study team may assign surveys to you in order to measure your experience in the study. MyVeeva for Patients allows you to easily complete your surveys and securely send your responses to your study team.
In your tasks, surveys are assigned to you and shown with their due dates. For example, you may have a survey due once per day by a specific time, or you may have a survey that allows you to take it as many times per day as you need. Ask your study team if you have questions about your specific surveys or their due dates.
Registering Your MyVeeva Account
When your study team first assigns surveys to you, you receive an email welcoming you to MyVeeva for Patients. If you don’t already have a MyVeeva account, you can create one using the link in the welcome email.
You may have surveys waiting for you, so it’s important to create your account and begin completing your surveys as soon as you receive your welcome email.
See the Registration and Login article for more information.
