The Patient Equation: The Precision Medicine Revolution in the Age of COVID-19 and Beyond 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

by Glen de Vries (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 30 ratings

How the data revolution is transforming biotech and health care, especially in the wake of COVID-19—and why you can’t afford to let it pass you by

We are living through a time when the digitization of health and medicine is becoming a reality, with new abilities to improve outcomes for patients as well as the efficiency and success of the organizations that serve them. In The Patient Equation, Glen de Vries presents the history and current state of life sciences and health care as well as crucial insights and strategies to help scientists, physicians, executives, and patients survive and thrive, with an eye toward how COVID-19 has accelerated the need for change. One of the biggest challenges facing biotech, pharma, and medical device companies today is how to integrate new knowledge, new data, and new technologies to get the right treatments to the right patients at precisely the right times—made even more profound in the midst of a pandemic and in the years to come.

Drawing on the fascinating stories of businesses and individuals that are already making inroads—from a fertility-tracking bracelet changing the game for couples looking to get pregnant, to an entrepreneur reinventing the treatment of diabetes, to Medidata's own work bringing clinical trials into the 21st century—de Vries shares the breakthroughs, approaches, and practical business techniques that will allow companies to stay ahead of the curve and deliver solutions faster, cheaper, and more successfully—while still upholding the principles of traditional therapeutic medicine and reflecting the current environment.

  • How new approaches to cancer and rare diseases are leading the way toward precision medicine
  • What data and digital technologies enable in the building of robust, effective disease management platforms
  • Why value-based reimbursement is changing the business of life sciences
  • How the right alignment of incentives will improve outcomes at every stage of the patient journey

Whether you're a scientist, physician, or executive, you can't afford to let the moment pass: understand the landscape with this must-read roadmap for success—and see how you can change health care for the better.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect roadmap for improving medical care
    Reviewed in the United States on 17 October 2020
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I unfortunately have had to enter the field of cancer care due to the diagnosis of my wife. I have jumped in with both feet and over three years have met top doctors across the world that focus on her disease. We have done much of what DeVries suggests as necessary in terms of trying to create personalized treatments and to do deep research to identify drivers of her disease and to use this info to then identify possible treatment options and trials. DeVries does an amazing job discussing the potential for personalized medicine and the need for pharma and health care organizations to come together to collaborate to better serve patients and more successfully and rapidly come up with new treatments to save more patients. This is a great read and a roadmap to what must be done in the health care world to wipe out diseases that have plagued us for far too long.

    An excellent read! Very well researched, well written, interesting read.

    This book is a great read for anyone interested in patient-centric, data driven approach and how technology esp. medical/tech gadgets can improve the lives of patient, and our community.

    It covers a wide range of synergies between technology, data, and clinical trials. A wondeful overview of how the industry has transformed/evolved in last few decades, how our smartphones and tech-gadgets have changed the way we look at our fitness goals.

    Highly recommend to those of us who are working in Pharma/Healthcare industry trying to make things easier and better for patients— who, ultimately, are all of us!

    A life sciences book with heart and soul. Unique, well-researched, and thoughtful. We are all patients here, deserving of personalized, high quality healthcare, care in general, hope, and respect. I liken this book to classics such as The Joy of Cooking and Alice in Wonderland. Versions 10.0.
