It is generally thought that engagement programs (e.g., apps, travel, and reimbursement tools) enhance the patient and site experience within a clinical research study. But do they really? This interactive session will feature a doctor and a patient who
can provide first-hand insight into using these engagements tools and what their effectiveness truly is. This session will be part of BBK Worldwide's Pharma15 Live! web series that tackles some of today's most compelling issues and brings them to
the forefront for discussion.
- Perspectives from a doctor and a patient regarding usage of engagement tools - i.e. travel and reimbursement apps
- Shifting the conversation from return-on-investment to return-on-impact.

Panelist to Be Announced
Why do we need caregivers in clinical trials? We have oversimplified our lifestyles in many areas but burdened our healthcare. Persons became doctors or nurses to care for others, delivering empathy to their patients. Technology is inhibiting, perhaps
limiting these touchpoints leaving patients to search for compassionate care. Caregivers are quickly becoming essential to a person's healthcare as well as to complex, confusing and overwhelmingly clinical trials. How do we integrate this new and
essential component in helping us achieve successful clinical trial experiences?
- What a caregiver is not...Are caregivers an extension of a healthline or a patient? Are there legal or ethical implications?
- How involved can a caregiver be? Should they be compensated?
- Who chooses a caregiver? What are the HIPPA or IRB challenges?

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been utilized in other industries outside of life sciences with varying degrees of sophistication. As pharma learns AI’s place in the life sciences industry, it may benefit from learning what other large companies
have accomplished with AI and their lessons learned.
- How are healthcare delivery systems using AI to better deliver care and improve efficiencies?
- What similar problems have non-healthcare industries solved with AI?

- Building a patient-centric framework that is both effective and compliant
- Converging patient-facing technology capabilities, the real challenges
- Streamlining direct-to-patient activities and creating a user experience to improve research and outcomes
- Creating the infrastructure to comply with best practices for patient data rights and permissions
