Thoughtful conversations focused on innovations and collaborations aligned with public health, equity, inclusion, and community empowerment through data modernization took the stage at AcademyHealth hashtag#hdpalooza this week. Vindell Washington, our Chief Clinical Officer and Head of Health Equity, facilitated a plenary panel with Andy Bindman, Donna Cryer, Sanjana Ravi, PhD, MPH and Dr. Abdul R Shaikh. “It’s not just talking about equity, it’s about doing something. We can’t use the same tools in the same way and expect health equity to improve,” said Vindell. Our Chief Medical and Scientific Officer Andrew Trister, MD PhD shared details on Verily’s wastewater monitoring program and how the data is leveraged to inform faster and more precise public health actions.
We are excited to announce the expansion of Verily Sightline Wastewater testing services to Europe through an exclusive partnership with Bangor University in Wales. Bangor’s lab, led by Prof. Davey Jones, will use our wastewater technology to deliver high-quality public health data on pathogen detection and virus spread, and to advance research and development efforts. “Verily’s wastewater solutions and expanded pathogen coverage will amplify our ability to monitor for and respond to public health threats effectively. Together, we are integrating world-class science with advanced technology to deliver critical public health data to the U.K. and beyond.” - Prof. Davey Jones.
AcademyHealth's Health Datapalooza will convene the most committed minds in health data, policy, and public health, including leaders from Verily. ▶ Vindell Washington will moderate the opening plenary panel, Reacting to the Future: Public Health as National and Economic Security, featuring speakers from Kaiser Permanente, Global Liver Institute, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and Amazon Web Services (AWS). ▶ Andrew Trister, MD PhD will participate in the breakout session, Leveraging Wastewater Data for Public Health Action, alongside leaders from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Rice University, Houston Health Department, and Water Environment Federation.
We are pleased to welcome Michael Radwin as Verily’s new Head of Data Science and AI. Michael joins us from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where as a founding member of the Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance, and Technology, he directed the Investigate and Respond Division.
Digital health technology can support the management of type 2 diabetes, but there are also barriers. For an overview of current applications, wearable devices and federal agency perspective, tune in to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) workshop on September 5-6. Erich S. Huang, MD, PhD, our Head of Clinical Informatics, will be speaking on equitable digital health approaches to diabetes management in the session moderated by Dr. David Klonoff and Dr. Xujing Wang.
There is more health data than ever. But the ability of life sciences and data-generating enterprises to govern, analyze and partner on data remains a challenge, which is imperative for biomedical research and development. Data analysis platforms, like Verily Workbench, can help through the infrastructure and collaborative tools to unlock the value of multimodal health data at scale.
Living with Parkinson’s disease (PD) can be challenging. There is great potential for wearables and digital measures to provide valuable data to clinicians and people with PD. Join Verily’s Erin Rainaldi and Johnny Ho as they share an in-depth analysis and lessons learned from a study designed for PD patients using Verily’s Study Watch and a virtual motor exam. Register for the Health Research from Home webinar on September 4 at 4:00pm GMT+1.
Clinical trial staff can address technology overload and burnout by adopting an advanced clinical trial management system (CTMS) that is intuitive and easy to use. With Verily Viewpoint Site CTMS, researchers are able to enjoy CTMS-configured workflows without the burden of translating PDF protocols and other tedious tasks.
We’re celebrating our 9th birthday this month 🎉 Verily was born in 2015 at Google X, the moonshot factory to tackle health’s biggest challenges by developing tools, services and software to help customers across the healthcare ecosystem. This experimentation-centric approach led to innovations at the intersection of health and tech. Today, our focus on solutions in the areas of research, care and public health has led to new approaches that make healthcare more personalized and precise.
Clinical research sites are bogged down by the enormous, daunting task of building, running and analyzing a study as directed by the protocol. And most are executing on these essential tasks with a PDF or “paper” protocol. There’s a better way with Verily Viewpoint Site CTMS, a state-of-the-art clinical trial management system that digitizes PDF protocols so clinical trial staff doesn’t have to.
