🔉Digital Health Technologies are revolutionising Clinical Trials! An emerging market which will grow to $23.5 billion by 2030. Our digital health lead Jade Sternberg had the chance to share insights and best practices into how to integrate digital health technologies (DHT) in clinical trials at the OCT DACH 2024 conference. Main takeaways: ⚖️ Find the right balance between the suitability of the technology, its compatibility to the patient and the operation process when selecting a DHT 📈Start with pilot studies before scaling up to larger trials to establish acceptance amongst patients en healthcare providers, ensure uninterrupted capture and transmission of data and maximise protocol adherence 💡Follow the three step approach to evaluate a DHT: verification, validation, usability Using DHTs in clinical trials ensures continuous data capture, decentralised clinical trials ensuring broader reach, faster trials and remote monitoring. A very interactive keynote where participants shared their best practices and use cases on integrating DHTs in their own clinical trials. Big shout out to Ancora.ai use case which helps patients find personalised trials options in an easy and fast way through AI. 🚀 Ralitsa Pashkuleva Arena International Events Group Outsourcing in Clinical Trials Event Series

🚶♂️ 🚶🏽♀️ Der Gang zu den Behörden und endlose Papierberge – für viele von uns ungeliebte und zeitraubende Tätigkeiten, die wir oft vor uns herschieben. Wäre es nicht grossartig, wenn die Verwaltung einfacher, schneller und vor allem digitaler ablaufen würde? 💻 Heute, beim Publikationsanlass zur Studie „Res Publica Digitalis“ von #digitalswitzerland, wurden vielversprechende Ansätze zur digitalen Transformation unserer Verwaltung aufgezeigt. Zwar steht die Schweiz mit ihrem föderalistischen System vor Herausforderungen steht, dasselbe System bietet jedoch auch Raum für flexible und innovative Lösungen. Ein zentraler Erfolgsfaktor dabei: Partnerschaften auf Gemeinde- und Kantonsebene. Solche Kooperationen sind unerlässlich, um die Digitalisierung effizient und kostengünstig voranzubringen. Gerade vor dem Hintergrund der geplanten Sparmassnahmen des Bundes wird Zusammenarbeit nicht nur zur Chance, sondern zur Notwendigkeit. Fazit der Studie: Die Schweiz ist auf einem guten Weg. Erfolgreiche Praxisbeispiele aus Kanton Aargau, Kanton Schaffhausen, Kanton Schwyz und Städten wie Stadt Luzern, Stadt Bern, City of Lugano und Ville de Lausanne sowie der Swiss Post zeigen, wie bürgerorientiertes #eGovernment gelingen kann. Diese Kooperationen ebnen den Weg zu einem zukunftsfähigen, nachhaltigen Serviceangebot für die Bürgerinnen und Bürger. Die ganze Studie, inkl. Use Cases der Partner:innen und einem Leitfaden mit den wichtigsten Learnings gibts hier: https://lnkd.in/dtQ_Ttn9 #Digitalisierung #eGovernment #Schweiz #Föderalismus #Innovation

The Digital Competitiveness Forum 2024, co-organised by digitalswitzerland and IMD on 14 November in Lausanne, will explore the role of public trust in driving the success of large-scale digital initiatives. As Switzerland prepares to launch its state-recognised electronic credentials system (E-ID), this milestone marks a critical advancement in the nation's digital competitiveness. However, as highlighted in the 2023 World Digital Competitiveness Ranking, public trust remains a major challenge for successful adoption. What best practices can Switzerland adopt to ensure a smooth implementation and widespread acceptance? How can collaboration between the public and private sectors, civil society, and associations like digitalswitzerland foster the trust needed for such transformations? Join us in Lausanne on 14 November as we debate these and more questions at the Digital Competitiveness Forum 2024 to gain valuable perspectives 🧠 👉 Register now for free: https://lnkd.in/dgtepVJd

🚀 "What do we want to have achieved when we meet at the next Swiss Data Space Forum?" – a powerful and crucial question posed by Franziska Barmettler, incoming CEO of digitalswitzerland, as she moderated the closing panel at the first Swiss Data Space Forum. As panelists discussed the future of Swiss data spaces, they emphasised the need for action, collaboration, and simplicity in breaking down complex data collaboration benefits for public and private actors: 🌟 Switzerland’s Potential: Marc Holitscher of Microsoft reminded us that Switzerland has all the right ingredients for successful data spaces–and it’s time to put them together. 🌟 Industry Opportunities & Challenges: Oksana Riba Grognuz of EPFL highlighted both shared challenges and unique opportunities across industries, advocating for international collaboration. 🌟 Proactive Legal Approach: Raffael Knecht from Swisscom urged that we face legal complexities head-on, making them integral to project progress. 🌟 Vibrant Community & Iterative Progress: Thomas Schneider from Federal Office of Communications OFCOM applauded the engaged community, underscoring that we don’t need to wait for perfection–iterative steps will drive success and scaling effects. As we look ahead, the panelists left us with ambitious yet actionable goals: to advance digital identity, recognise data’s role alongside AI, and to bridge industry, public, and private sectors for lasting impact. 📅 Save the Date: The next Swiss Data Space Forum is set for 2 September 2025. Let's keep this momentum alive – so when we meet next, actions speaks louder than words. #SwissData #DataStewardship #DigitalSwitzerland #SwissDataAlliance #TrustInData #GaiaX

🌐 Building a Data Ecosystem in Switzerland: A To Do List 📝 The vision is clear this afternoon at the Swiss Data Space Forum: Switzerland needs an ecosystem where data serves as a valuable resource for innovation and societal benefit.
