Pre-Conference Workshop Day
Workshop A
9:00 am
Tackling Big Data: Exploring the Best Practices to Streamline Data Quality & Identify Digital Measures
Synopsis
Remote and digital biomarker data capture presents advantages over typical patient data collection, with more objective measurements and passive and more frequent data collection. However, there are still challenges to overcome in collecting and handling big data regarding signal: noise ratio, data analysis and selecting measures, and ensuring the correct operational performance of data collection.
Workshop Highlights Include:
- Optimizing filtering signal from noise in collected data from high-frequency and passive data collection
- Neurological complexity: how can frequent data collection identify changes in disease progression?
- Applying machine learning tools to select clinical measures from collected data
- Debating multi-stakeholder agreement on the best measurements for neurological digital biomarkers
Workshop B
1:00 pm
Solidifying Industry Trust & Investment Post Validation to Accelerate Qualification & Scalability of Digital Measures
Synopsis
Following validation, there are still internal barriers to overcome to encourage scaled-up deployment of digital biomarkers in the industry. Join this workshop to contrast experiences of combatting internal hesitancies and expand the applications of validated biomarkers to pave the way to scaled-up deployment in neuro clinical trials.
Workshop highlights Include:
- Exploring strategies to secure internal industry confidence in digital biomarkers to scale-up investment and dedicated resources
- Widening the scope: expanding cross-indication applications of qualified measures to supercharge scalability
- Utilizing consortia and partnerships to de-risk industry investment into validated digital biomarkers
- Understanding regulatory attitudes and the journey to approval for digital measures
