Episode Description

The buzz: “According to Deloitte, the healthcare industry is planning the most aggressive deployments of blockchain, with 35 percent of health and life sciences planning to deploy by 2018” (Vala Afshar). Life Sciences organizations globally are exploring how Blockchain technology could disrupt traditional business models and processes with a platform of “truth” for how enterprises work with each other. And as IoT, mobile and Big Data mature, they are enabling industry stakeholders to stay connected real-time. How will the next level of disruptive Digital Innovation impact the Health Sciences value chain? The experts speak. Peter Ebert, Cryptowerk Corp: “If you can dream it, you can do it” (Walt Disney). Eric Piscini, Deloitte: “We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten” (Bill Gates). Joe Miles, SAP: “Love all, but trust a few” (Shakespeare). Join us for Blockchain Meets Life Sciences: Now What?

By 2025, the global life sciences market will have changed dramatically from the industry we know today. Patients will be more accountable for their care and have greater access to their personal health information. Patients and payers will demand personalized treatments with superior outcomes, but cost-effectively. Technology will allow patients to use smart devices to monitor their health in real time while collaborating with their physicians from home. Patient outcomes will be continually monitored to identify patient populations that may have an identical genetic predisposition to a treatment, while providing early detection of any adverse events. Patients, physicians, providers, and producers will collaborate tightly within a treatment protocol to ensure optimal outcomes at reduced costs.

Join host Bonnie D. Graham for a Coffee Break with Game-Changers special series on how the digital economy is transforming the Life Sciences industry on Changing the Game in Life Sciences.
