NEXT-Generation Digital Biomarkers
With more than 400 participants, our NEXT Seminar on 05.10.23 created an effective platform to bring together researchers from all over the world. Scientists from the USA, UK, Germany and Switzerland presented their latest results on next-generation digital biomarkers and their technology.
The event was organized and led by Noé Brasier, MD, MedLab Fellow at the Institute of Translational Medicine and Early-career fellow at Collegium Helveticum in Zurich, and Prof. Dr. Jörg Goldhahn, head of the Institute for Translational Medicine and chair of the steering board of the digital Trial Intervention Platform (dTIP). The team from dTIP also led the discussion on “why the integration of patients into the development process is essential, how to improve the quality and efficiency of clinical trials, and strategies to overcome regulatory hurdles for wearable devices and digital.” The opportunity for networking was actively used during the break and the aperitif. We would like to thank all speakers, our sponsors, our audience, and all participants for the interesting presentations, discussions, and conversations.
