Composability is also key for digital biomarkers design -- choosing which hardware, operating systems, signal processing & algorithms you need Today, @GoHumanFirst's @cesassano dropped a landscape map of the 600+ developers of biomarker components medium.com/elektra-labs/c…
Composability is the ability to mix and match software components like lego bricks. Paraphrasing @naval, it means every software component only needs to be written once, and can thereafter simply be reused. x.com/naval/status/1…
Learn how #CovariateAdjustment can improve clinical trials by increasing statistical power & widening eligibility criteria. Join us on June 14 for a live webinar w key opinion leaders from @OwkinScience, @bmsnews & @ASCOCancerLinQ. Register to attend at bit.ly/3MdMTGy
"Vaccines don't stop transmission" is a popular argument against vaccine requirements. While vaccines aren't perfect (nothing is), they *do* reduce transmission, and that makes any environment safer. @Craig_A_Spencer does a great job of explaining how. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
@sacjai The latter are almost exclusively in industry esp for vaccines. These capabilities are hard to develop/maintain, arguably why the top pharma orgs by R&D spend have ~100 year old roots. Interesting analysis doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1… @Dereklowe @ldtimmerman @DShaywitz
@sacjai Tremendous conflation btwn basic R that produce mostly pubs v translational/clinical Dev. Basic R is foundational doesn’t deliver drug candidates. Translational/clinical dev requires not only capital but focused capabilities: people, processes, technologies and aligned incentives
Excited to share that HumanFirst (@GoHumanFirst) raised our Series A. Since launch, 22 of the top 25 pharma companies have used our Atlas to support decentralized trials. And virtual care is rapidly accelerating. Healthcare is coming home. wsj.com/articles/human…

Can sponsors generate reusable #clinicaltrials data assets? Develop a future-proof raw data roadmap for #wearables and digital measures with @Koneksa in an upcoming @actigraph webinar. Learn more and register today: hubs.ly/H0KtBNy0
Essentially, digital/data champions have been pushing for pharma to embrace digital/data tech, pharma orgs (typically, characteristically) respond conservatively, suspicious of latest shiny object. So far, in terms of actual impact, they are largely right (if also contributors).
The Challenge of Conducting Placebo-Controlled Trials as COVID-19 Vaccines Become Authorized ja.ma/2Zs3SPB via @JAMA_current part of @JAMANetwork great piece on why these vax went fast & the implications of unblinding & uneven vaccination on LT data and next gen vax dev

The @Koneksa snowman looks good, but we are concerned about the last 24 hours of activity monitoring data - body temperature readings are very low!
So true
