Event Recap

Dr. Robert Learney kicked off our event by introducing blockchain and the research of the team at the Centre for Cryptocurrency Research and Engineering in Imperial College. He explained what transactions mean, the emergence of blocks and the historical development.
We discussed Bitcoin, Litecoin and Monero, and the levels of privacy. There are many forms of blockchain, with the latest trend being in smart contracts. There are also several vendors, and hope for more visible organisations.
David Shorthouse from Guardtime, the world’s largest blockchain company, shared insight into how blockchain can revolutionise healthcare and how it already is. In Estonia, Guardtime is securing 1 million EHRs. Estonia turns to electronic solutions for anything from voting to taxes, these e-citizens are part of the e-Estonia movement.
The three essential pillars in this are confidentiality, availability and integrity. Now, the Estonian government has turned to Guardtime and blockchain technology to secure patient data.
Estonia's digital transformation has saved the Estonian government 2% of its GDP.
We discussed privacy rights and that from May 2018 every EU citizen of the member states will have the right to their own data.

DESCRIPTION

Digital, Data and Technology: Disrupting Clinical Trials
Only 1 in 5,000 medicines in development make it to market, with a drug typically taking 12 years to develop from initial discovery to market. Estimates vary but the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry puts drug development at £1.15bn per drug. If we are to drive down the costs of medicines, we need to drive down the costs of clinical trials. Riddled with inefficiencies, the clinical trial process is ripe for disruption from patient recruitment to optimisation of data analysis. But how can data, digital and technology fit in a complex, lengthy and high risk process? To what extent are regulators open to new innovations? How is pharma investing in new approaches and technologies?
Join HealthTech Women UK, as part of the Data Science Festivalto learn, debate, network, and understand the role new technologies can play in future medicine development.
