The French Society of Rheumatology (SFR) and the Patient Association ANDAR have partnered since early 2012 to disseminate a new tool (SANOIA) allowing patients to record and track their personal health data and contribute to their monitoring. This tool drives major expectations in terms of epidemiology. In fact, the information anonymously entered by the patient, about his medical condition and coping of the disease are aggregatable for research. After a phase of evaluation, SANOIA is currently deployed on two medical conditions: Survey 1: Assess the feasibility and the adoption of SANOIA a personal health record freely available for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In December 2012, 2,902 RA patients were registered. Survey 2: Assess the feasibility and the adoption of SANOIA, a personal health diary freely accessible, which has been adapted for patients with a rare disease thrombocytopenic purpura. ". We look out to extend the tool to other medical conditions.
