"Digital biomarkers are defined as objective, quantifiable physiological and behavioral data that are collected and measured by means of digital devices such as portables, wearables, implantables or digestibles. The data collected is typically used to explain, influence and/or predict health-related outcomes. Digital biomarkers also represent an opportunity to capture clinically meaningful, objective data." Digital biomarkers journal
Now in its fourth year hosted in partnership with Roche in Basel, the Digital Biomarkers in Clinical Trials Summit is the first and only global forum of its kind to focus on ways for pharma clinical trials to take advantage of new opportunities to collect better data and improve the patient experience; as well as how these new digital health tools supplement existing biomarker strategies.
Join 15+ speakers, 250+ senior-level pharma, clinical trials, technology and digital health executives virtually on June 23rd, 2021 at Roche in Basel to learn, network, develop and improve the way pharma clinical trials utilize mobile-enabled, wearables, and IoT capabilities to improve existing biomarker strategies, improve patient experience and collect better data.
Global experts converge at the forefront of wearable sensor technology, data management, analytics, connected device & biomarkers strategies in clinical trials. If you’re involved with R&D, sales & marketing, information technology, data management, patient recruitment, retention, adherence, digital health, digital biomarkers, quantitative or translational medicine - this is the place to be.

PHYSIQ Panel Discussion: Taking off the training wheels with Digital Biomarkers in Clinical Trials
In this “conceptual” case study that combines lessons from actual cases (while protecting identities), we consider use of sensors to support digital endpoints in a hypothetical HF study. We suggest it is time to take off the training wheels with respect to adoption of scalable biosensor data in clinical trials. We contrast alternate approaches to designing in wearable sensors and the risks of ad hoc sensor choice. We examine messaging that can be used by digital health thought leaders to educate their audiences about pertinent choices for selecting infrastructure for driving optimal use of digital biomarkers.
