2024 ISOQOL Annual Conference


All different together: Showcasing variety of QOL research

13–16 October 2024 - Cologne, Germany

The 2024 Annual Conference will focus on the range of research done within the QOL field. Working within the framework of applications, methods and theory, we would like to turn to topics that might be less prominent. The plenaries will cover regulatory issues in digital health services, non-PRO measures and their technological applications, and the concept of HRQL from a more philosophical perspective.

2024 ISOQOL MWM Symposium


Measuring What Matters in social determinants of health

16-17 July 2024, Virtual event

There is an established link between differences in social determinants of health (SDOH) and chronic disease disparities, and between chronic disease and health-related quality of life (HRQL). Far less is known about associations among SDOH, HRQL, chronic disease and health outcomes, including whether SDOH mediate the relationship between HRQL and chronic disease outcomes. This symposium proposes to highlight conceptual relationships among these concepts, stimulate research ideas including novel methodologies to analyze relationships between SDOH, and HRQL for people with chronic illness.
