A few days ago I attended the C3 Summit in London, which was very valuable, featuring good sessions and networking, and is an event I recommend people attend if you get chance.

The event started with a session on digital health, where it was highlighted that AI functionality is set to be a gamechanger in the industry, including for natural language processing in order to interpret patient records and other data.

Wearable tech and ongoing journalling should be able to help eliminate ‘parking lot syndrome’ (where a patient fills in their reporting immediately prior to site visit).

A key point was to ensure there isn’t simply data collection for the sake of it, by asking ‘why am I doing this?’ and ‘what do I need to know?’ before simply collecting everything possible.

Sharing of data was viewed as being a potentially good thing – with patients ultimately owning it. More thoughts in the next vid.
