8:35 The ‘Tyranny of Distance’ to Cancer Patient Outcomes: Implementation Strategies of Remote Monitoring to Broaden the Umbrella of Cancer Care
Christopher M. Hartshorn, PhD, Program Director, Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health
It is well documented that patients who reside greater than 50 miles from, or in dense urban areas 50 minutes from, major medical centers, have decreased outcomes than those who do not. This ‘tyranny of distance’ problem can be reduced by way of cancer care strategies that include digital health tools (e.g., apps, ambient sensing, and wearable sensing devices) that allow care to be brought to the patient. This talk will focus on several initiatives at the National Cancer Institute aiming to enable the broad implementation of digital health tools.

9:00 How is Wearables-Driven Digital Health Shaping Non-Critical Care?
Ravi Kuppuraj, PhD, CEO/Digital Innovator, Connected Sensing – General Care Solutions, Philips
The continued adoption of digital health solutions in the management of post-acute and chronic care is well underway. The benefits from these endeavors span across the quadruple aim that healthcare strives for, positive clinical outcomes, cost and financial benefits, caregiver experience and finally patient benefit and experience. However, challenges from business models to logistics and compliance continue to exist. In addition to these, there are also issues of data privacy and security, and the overall patient experience, all of which will directly influence the overall success and potential of these solutions. We will examine these challenges and constraints, as well the emerging solutions and methods that are transforming digital health and healthcare overall.

9:25 Clinical Wearables as a Source for Real World Evidence
Carlos Agell, Program Manager & Principal Member, Technical Staff, Connected Health, imec
Starting out as a device for early adopters, wearables now represent a mass market product with 300 million units sold worldwide in 2019. Reaching fields such as entertainment, payments and wellbeing, 10 years after the launch of the first Fitbit the wide-spread impact in the consumer market cannot be compared with the minor adoption within the clinical and medical research scene. Medical grade wearables, proven against golden reference devices, are a first milestone. Proving medical endpoints with such wearables is the next stage. In this talk IMEC will be presenting how medical wearables transitioned from proving functionality to being used in hospital and ambulatory conditions for medical research and development. Example applications in the fields of Cardiac monitoring, respiration CHF, COPD and stress monitoring will be discussed. The fine-grade information collected by wearables, their pervasiveness and continuous operation enable new frontiers towards real world data gathering within RCT and bring new dimensions in unraveling real world evidence.
