With this presentation I wanted to highlight a number of trends in the healthcare sector and some major challenges born out of the current healthcare delivery model. I’d then like to propose an alternative model in which the combination of distributed patient and diagnostic data collection, cloud technology and AI would support better healthcare tailored to the individual at lost cost to payers. I would conclude by highlighting opportunities for AI-led innovation.

Summary
▪ Innovative materials, novel manufacturing of electronics and digital
technologies are opening up significant opportunities to improve healthcare
delivery
▪ Uncertainties in business (e.g. establishing of digital ecosystems,
intermediation, new entrants) and reimbursement models, coupled with
regulatory and cultural hurdles will slow adoption
▪ Collaboration across the healthcare value and supply chains with joint
standards, strong cybersecurity protocols and clear data ownership models is
needed to exploit the benefits these technologies are poised to deliver
26. 26
Barriers to adoption
▪ Regulatory hurdle to certify novel diagnostics & therapies
▪ Sophisticated supply chain requirements beyond current practice
• Managing patient data through the supply chain
• Challenging system infrastructure, process execution, quality assurance
• Traceability (right product → right patient for multiple products & multiple patients)
▪ Data ownership and data sharing model, particularly regarding patient data
• Who owns the data? Who decides how data is used? Who can see what in the healthcare
value chain? Individual’s privacy and business competitive advantage concerns
• Cybersecurity
▪ Emergence digital platforms & ecosystems (which ones will dominate?)

Some thoughts on addressing today’s and future
challenges (I)
▪ Pre-competitive collaboration through consortia built across the value chain
• Definition of standards, communication protocols, programming interfaces, etc.
• In the UK, the Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre (MMIC) will provide the
environment to test manufacturing technology innovation within a GMP environment, at
scale
▪ Allow exploration beyond regulatory framework, similar to other industries,
to de-risk technology and business model innovation
• In the financial sector, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has set up a “regulatory
sandbox” to allow businesses to test products and services in a controlled environment
with real consumers (https://www.fca.org.uk/firms/regulatory-sandbox)
28. 28
Some thoughts on addressing today’s and future
challenges (II)
▪ Solving the data ownership puzzle will require dialog and the
implementation of policy instruments to regulate the space
(rules of engagement)
▪ Regulated segments of the healthcare sector (pharma,
medtech) need to embrace digital technology
• Recruitment of new or cross-industry talent, retraining and further
development are essential
• Partnerships with technology companies may accelerate the process
