      Peter Speyer, Head of Data, Analytics & AI, Novartis Foundation

      The potential of using digital and data solutions to improve population health is acknowledged widely. Cardiovascular disease is the world’s leading cause of death. They take almost 18 million lives per year, most of them preventable, and with up to 80% of them occurring in low and middle income countries. Cardiovascular health depends on a complex system of determinants, from age and genetics to behaviors and social determinants of health, the conditions in which we are born, grow, live, work and age. We will introduce a framework and jointly debate opportunities for innovation in measuring and addressing these determinants.

      USE CASE: Getting started with your first Generative AI Use Case Mostafa Ajallooeian, Engagement Director, Senior Data Scientist, Unit8 SA

      Drastically reducing R&D time is GenAI’s main footprint in healthcare now but what about other, smaller yet impactful use cases? In this session we’ll briefly explore GenAI and its growing applications in the healthcare sector. Next we’ll walk through a live demo where we leverage ChatGPT to extract, summarize and reference insights from medical journals. We’ll conclude with a healthcare client project that leveraged generative AI, its resulting business impact as well as a roadmap on how to get started with GenAI in your organization.

      USE CASE: Challenges in the use of digital technologies in the preparedness, readiness, and response to disasters Lina Echeverri, Medical Doctor, MSc in Disaster Medicine, Consultant, Health Emergencies, CRIMEDIM - Center for Research and Training in Disaster Medicine, Humanitarian Aid and Global Health

      Digital technologies and tools in humanitarian crises, and overall disaster preparedness and response, have seen their roles in facilitating data collection and analysis, dissemination of information, support to coordination, advocacy and of course fundraising. Notwithstanding advancement in such technologies, challenges remain in their implementation and use in complex contexts as in conflicts, fragile states, and low-resource settings, where protection of data and appropriate use of context analysis cannot be guaranteed, or where poorly designed, unsustainable, and unsafe digital health products might not only be a waste of time and resources in already constraint settings, but could put at risk the wellbeing of the people they are meant to serve.

      USE CASE: The FIND validation platform: Manufacturer independent evaluations for CXR-CAD Matthew Arentz, MD MPH; Lead – Digital Health Validation Program; Senior Technical Consultant, FIND

      At FIND, the global alliance for diagnostics, we have developed a validation platform (VP) that incorporates core principles for evaluation of AI based diagnostics. This platform can perform an independent analysis of AI-diagnostics (including CXR-CAD) and inform users regarding performance in specific populations and geographies that may have differences from those an AI model was trained on. FIND, along with other partners, are evaluating the use of CXR-CAD in the diagnosis of tuberculosis,  COVID-19, and other pneumonia, as initial areas of focus. However, the platform is built to allow evaluation of other AI based diagnostics as products evolve. Findings can better inform health systems prior to purchase, and can be iterative, allowing for evaluation of different software versions, limiting unnecessary investment in version updates.  In this talk, the speaker will cover key aspects of the validation platform and its use in evaluation and validation of performance of CXR-CAD for the World Health Organization and expansion to use with other stakeholders.

      HEADLINER: Machine Learning and Generative AI in Medical Devices Lisa Falco, Lead Consultant AI & Data, Zühlke Group Gabriel Krummenacher, Head of Data Science, Zühlke Group

      The compliant development of medical devices with machine learning presents several challenges: the approach to building machine learning models is highly exploratory and characterized by empirical experimentation. To properly test and evaluate methods and training models in a way that is reproducible in a clinical setting can be difficult and the quality and quantity requirements for the data are often unclear. In this presentation, Zühlke will show how it is possible to successfully implement medical machine learning projects thanks to consistent adherence to best practices, systematic quality control and a risk-based approach. We will also discuss the new challenges of leveraging generative AI for medical applications

      HEADLINER: Patient digital twins for personalised medicine Dr Darren Gates, Clinical Innovation Consultant, Alder Hey Innovation Service; Consultant Paediatric Intensivist, Alder Hey Children's Hospital

      The Digital Twin paradigm holds the potential to visualise a patient virtually. It could facilitate describing the real-time response to an intervention based on a change in patient state or patient trajectory offering both an immediate feedback loop for clinicians, as well as a reproducible record that can be interrogated alongside other similar cases. In addition to this, it could be analysed remotely, over variable timeframes, replayed, and simulated. It would serve as a patient specific communication tool where previous responses can be observed by multiple physicians and pave the way for the evaluation of medical treatments virtually. It is anticipated that this will help revise the one-size-fits-all approach that currently prevails in evidence-based medicine, for more personalised, precision interventions. In this session we’ll explore what a patient digital twin is, how it might be used and current progress in development.

    HEADLINER: The Digital Health Revolution: Can the transformation seen in digital, decentralized clinical trials provide a faster route to informing care? Katie Baca-Motes, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, The Digital Trials Center, Scripps Research/CareEvolution Main Stage

    Over the last decade, we’ve seen a rapid transformation in the way clinical research is conducted, moving away from the traditional clinical trial design which typically requires a hands-on, boots-on-the-ground model. While not all aspects of a traditional trial can be replaced, the newer digital and decentralized approach showcases new opportunities to streamline operational workflows, enhance the capture of real-world evidence, and engage participants and patients in a more meaningful way.

    This session will highlight three seminal digital clinical studies (mSTOPS, DETECT and PROGRESS) that have moved the needle beyond proof-of-concept highlighting the ability to scale and broaden participant reach, transition from observational to interventional, and implement digital health technologies for data collection beyond a limited, episodic cadence. The research efforts at Scripps Research showcase the potential for accelerating the transformation of healthcare—better prevention, faster diagnosis, improved treatments—through the continued advancement of a digital, decentralized clinical trial model which can serve as the roadmap for transforming healthcare delivery.
