Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Digital Innovations from R&D to Healthcare Delivery
Join HBA Europe for the Women in Science technology innovation event, where we can’t ignore the demands of patients, payers and even politicians who put emphasis on better access to healthcare professionals and focused patient treatment and care. These are exciting times as healthcare technology takes a leap towards innovative and novel approaches when it comes to redesigning better patient's care.
The Women in Science team invites you to be inspired by Basel’s exciting innovation technology drive that is looking towards changing lives not just now but in the future.
Digitalizing Early Clinical Development: From Patient and Investigator Engagement to Digital Biomarkers, Dr Christian Gossens
The digitalizing in clinical development is in full progress. Here we will cover digital tools to engage patients and investigators as well as a detailed discussion of our latest progress in digital biomarker development. As soon as patients leave the clinic their disease progression is often very difficult to follow. This is a challenge for clinical research and can even result in sub-optimal treatment. But objective, automated and high frequency measures of disease progression were hard to come by. Now, mobile sensors are readily available to bring light to these blind spots.Roche is pioneering a smartphone-based monitoring system since 2014. This is complementing the traditional physician-led assessments, which are limited by availability of expert centers, are resource intensive and represent only a snapshot in time. In contrast, app-based tests continuously measure the patient's symptoms and thus thoroughly capture day-to-day fluctuations. This talk will also shed light on the latest Roche developments and on our efforts towards modernized clinical endpoints.
Planning and Navigation in the MIRACLE project, Dr Lilian Witthauer
The flagship project MIRACLE from the department of biomedical engineering at the University of Basel aims at cutting bones with laser light with sub-millimeter precision. For that purpose, a minimally invasive robot-assisted computer-guided laserosteotome, short MIRACLE, is developed. The MIRACLE project is composed of four core teams, the bio-inspired robots for medicine-lab, the biomedical laser and optics group, the smart implants group and the planning and navigation group. The latter group deals with the planning and visualization of the progress of the surgical intervention. Within a virtual reality world the surgeon plans the bone cuts before the surgery using a 3D representation of computer tomography images. Augmented reality techniques will be used during the surgery to give the surgeon a real-time feedback about the movement of the robot inside the patient and provide him with additional information such as medical images without losing the connection to the real world.
Artificial Intelligence in Telemedicine, Dr Andy Fischer
The healthcare systems in industries nations are subject to various changes. Demographics changes, increasing mobility and changes in patients' buying behavior, rising cost pressure and rapid consolidation of service providers and other stakeholders to powerful market participants are, among other things, a major challenge. In this environment, opportunities arise for new care devices and growth of digital integrated healthcare models such as telemedicine and smarthealth.
As with all our events, we would like to invite both women and men in science.
