We regularly check the new additions to the database and update our ontologies of interventions and PRO instruments with the new items we find cited in the abstracts. We tweet about the more interesting and useful papers we find - you can follow us on @HeoroCom - and from time to time, we write a blog about the new additions. 

In January 2018, we added 49 new intruments to our PRO tool ontology.  Since then, we've added a further 39 instruments, which are listed below. You can identify the papers that cited these instruments as follows

1. Go to the heoro.com Dashboard

2. Select "All diseases or no specific disease" from the Diseases menu

3. Select "PRO studies" from the Study type menu

4. Then select the PRO instrument you are interested in  from the Instruments menu

5. Click on "Search" and all relevant papers will appear.
