The Patient Data Gold Rush

Technology that can mine the clinical patient data that already exists is finally available - now is the time to speculate to accumulate. The intersection of technology and health has thrown up almost as many questions as it has solutions. "Innovation through collaboration: Bringing disruption to the patient" was the title of the recent Financial Times Digital Health Summit Europe, which took place in London in June. Speaking at the event was ICON's Chief Information Officer, Tom O'Leary. Since its inception in 1990, ICON has been offering a range of drug development services to the pharmaceutical industry, running clinical trials worldwide across all therapeutic areas, diseases, and indications, on behalf of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies.
