Krzysztof Grzywacz: Future of clinical studies with smart devices and medical sensors

Clinical studies are one of the most important parts of the new drug discovery and verification process. An introduction of mobile phones and smart accessories changes the way the studies are conducted, to patient centric with focus on home-based monitoring. Low cost health monitoring sensors with medical accuracy allow to capture more data and provide more information about patient health and clinical outcomes. Please join our session to learn about digital health mobile apps, smart drug delivery devices and medical sensors like spirometers or sleep monitors. You would have a hands-on experience with those solutions and have the opportunity to understand how to connect everything together to have a consistent user experience.

Joanna Skotarczyk: “Alexa, are you ready for Digital Health?” - Can we use Conversational Interfaces in Digital Health area?

When we think of the evolution of personal computers, from the start on, we can see that the changes have been made not only in functionality, but also in how we signal our input. After a decade of typing on keyboard, pointing using mouse and swiping things with our hands, now we are more and more comfortable with conversational interfaces, which are bringing a new level of sophistication and convenience to our interactions with computers. But are we ready to use it in Digital Health Area? This is one of the questions we are trying to solve in Roche Global Solution Centre.
