<p class="session__description-body mt-1">When a little girl became paralyzed, she and her dad jumped into action to find a solution. They set out to build a robotic exoskeleton arm brace that would attempt to pick up signals from her damaged motor neurons and use them as a control signal for the exoskeleton. Their odyssey is a testament, not only to the kindness of strangers and the indomitable will of a little girl, but also to the fact that patients can create their own personalized solutions.</p>

Integrating genomics into physician workflows is no easy lift – in addition to traditional barriers like access and cost of testing, now provider knowledge and patient understanding of the benefits/risks of testing leave many systems wondering how to get started.

<p class="session__description-body mt-1">The use cases for blockchain in health are endless, but it has yet to make a real dent in the system. Will 2020 be the year where we see a real business case for blockchain? If so, will the breakthrough come from private, commissioned or decentralized patient-owned platforms? Hear both sides give their case. </p>

The 21st Century Cures Act defined the role of Real-World Evidence in the development and commercialization of drugs and biologics. It also highlighted the untapped value of the Voice-of-the-Patient as a pivotal source of real-world data. Engaging the patient is especially important in the development of new therapeutic approaches and products for treatment of cancer. Solutions relating to successful cancer treatment must combine scientific/clinical advances and inclusion of the patient as an active participant in his/her own healthcare journey. New platforms are evolving that focus on prospectively capturing patients’ knowledge of their disease, compliance to treatments, and role in shared decision making. The patient’s “Voice” is now as important as his/her “Genetic Profile”.
