2016 SXSW Interactive Panel Submission: Big Data and mobile health are transforming the healthcare landscape. The digital revolution is here and health tech heavyweights are ready to ride the wave. Take a look into the future of drug development and how mHealth technology, including wearables, sensors and apps, are uncovering new “digital biomarkers” and driving a patient-centric research model. The connected patient paired with tech straight out of the Matrix is altering the way we’re collecting and understanding our own data, helping people to better understand themselves today to proactively lead healthier lives tomorrow.

 How will mHealth
technology accelerate
medical innovation
and change the
treatment of disease?
 What is the
“Connected Patient”?
 How can we make sure
vast amounts of real-time
patient data will be
used in a safe and
regulatory-compliant way?
Join us for an interactive panel to discuss:

4. The stark reality of clinical research?
Subjective patient data
is pervasive, and in-clinic
data alone may not tell
the whole story!

5. It’s subject to environment
And to biases

6. It’s subject to interpretation, recall & judgment

7.  Objective
 Real world
 eSource
 Remote
 Real time
 Continuous
Spirometer
Glucometers
BP Cuff
Oximeter
Instrumenting patients with mHealth devices
produces a new class of data…

8. A better model for engaging with patients and
capturing their voice…

User-friendly,
Convenient Instruments
Integrated
Mobile Tools
Biosensors &
Wearables

9. Stroke
Parkinson’s
COPD
Asthma
Obesity
Pain
… and a new approach to analyzing disease
9
Potential expansion and improvement in measurements
Current Possible
Pain intensity scales (PRO), e.g., visual
analog scale, brief pain inventory
Level of activity and/or sleep quality
NIHSS (National Institutes of Health
Stroke Score) or Rankin Scale
Gait, cadence, balance of steps
between left foot and right foot
Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating
Scale (UPDRS)
Level of vocal tremor during phone
conversations
6-minute walk test Daily steps for trial duration
PRO surveys on number of night
awakenings
Number of night awakenings detected
by wearable device
Weight, blood pressure and
hypoglycemic events
Active minutes / steps walked

10. Opportunity abounds
10
New products provide continuous insights into
patients’ health, enabling proactive lifestyle
choices and an enhanced quality of life
Supporting startups building the next generation of
technologies transforming healthcare

11. What’s going on in patients’ daily lives? mHealth
provides better visibility for researchers
11
Dataquality
 Does the data fall within the
parameters defined by the
device specifications?
 Is the data physiologically
appropriate?
Data Quality Subject Compliance
 Is the subject wearing the
device?
 Is the subject wearing it
correctly / is the device
operating correctly?
Clinical Insights
 What is the relationship
between the mobile health
data and currently accepted
clinical endpoints and/or
health outcomes?
