Dublin Global Gathering - September 4th 2019

What you can expect

Clinical Trial Optimization

How can we optimize clinical processes by combining data, analytics and technology to help bring new medications to market faster? Who are the front-runners in doing so? Have we seen new molecules, and rising ROI as a result of the optimization?

Speaker highlight

Kuldeep Singh Rajput is the founder and CEO of Biofourmis, a fast-growing global start-up founded in Singapore that is on a mission of augmenting personalized care and therapies with Digital Therapeutics for better management of patients with complex chronic conditions. They discover, develop and deliver clinically-validated software-based therapeutics to provide better outcomes for patients, advanced tools for clinicians to deliver personalized care, and cost-effective solutions for payers. 

Kuldeep will present some learnings from their own experience in R&D running clinical trials for digital solutions. From how they designed the study to how they chose placebos and the right patient cohorts, to tracking, monitoring digital biomarkers and calculating meaningful endpoints - all with some help from our tech friends. 

Digital Therapeutics: What's next?

We have spoken about DTx several times over the last few years. Now that we accept that DTx have a big role to play in patients' lives, in pharma life-cycles and in the practice of medicine as we know it, what is next on the horizon? Are we being reimbursed as patients and providers, are we building new franchises as pharma, are we identifying common ground in the form of guidelines for evidence building and regulation as DTx companies?
