Human Data Science Labs

IQVIA Institute Human Data Science Labs bring together diverse groups of stakeholders – leaders from academic research, clinical medicine, healthcare providers, payers, non-governmental organizations and others – to participate in collaborative, provocative and engaging discussions around the value of Human Data Science applied to timely topics in healthcare.

Human Data Science Lab 3: 
Advancing Health Outcomes through Home Healthcare

Our third Lab – Advancing Health Outcomes through Home Healthcare: Bringing the home-based healthcare transformation to scale – brought together leaders in academic research, the life sciences industry, healthcare, non-profit, consulting, and law. Several key themes emerged from the Lab and will warrant further consideration and research endeavors:

  1. Home healthcare in the connected healthcare system
  2. The transformation of the home healthcare sector
  3. New models for extending healthcare in the home
  4. Challenges and hurdles for large scale adoption of home healthcare
  5. New avenues for expanding care in home
  6. The pathways for care in the home in the future

Read more about the discussion in this third Lab and resulting ideas in the paper – Advancing Health Outcomes through Home Healthcare: Bringing the home-based healthcare transformation to scale.

Human Data Science Lab 2:
Evolving the Understanding of the Patient

Our second Lab – Evolving the Understanding of the Patient: Exploring the paths from a disease-centric to a human-centric model – brought together leaders in advocacy, academic research, the life sciences industry, healthcare, technology, consumer retail, and healthcare advertising. Several key themes emerged from the Lab and will warrant further consideration and research endeavors:

  1. Establish a new vernacular around patient-centric care
  2. Developing an understanding of the heterogeneity of personal preferences
  3. Advancing the shift from input-based to outcomes-based person-centric care
  4. Creating new models for personalized, home-based care as the virtual "house doctor" of the 21st century
  5. Exploring new, radical collaborations around person-centric healthcare

Human Data Science Lab 1:
Evolving the Understanding of the Natural History of Disease

The first Lab – Evolving the Understanding of the Natural History of Disease – brought together leaders in epidemiology, clinical development, medical oncology, neuroscience, academia, payers, and rare disease advocacy. In the course of the two-hour conversation, participants discussed the uncertainties pertaining to the molecular pathways of disease, the challenges relating to the use of big data seen through the lens of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, the role of pre-symptomatic disease, the impact of social determinants of health, and the application of real world evidence to support the evolving understanding of the natural history of disease.
