PISTOIA ALLIANCE AND ZS LAUNCH INSIGHTS FROM JOINT RESEARCH INITIATIVE
Collaborative white paper highlights misaligned incentives in R&D are holding back full human data integration and better patient outcomes
The Pistoia Alliance and ZS have launched a new white paper: “Are misaligned incentives preventing better patient outcomes in life sciences R&D? The hidden barrier to full human data integration.”
This joint research initiative brings together insights from 25 industry leaders including sponsors, regulators, patient advocates, healthcare providers, and health systems. It explores what it would truly take to create a future where near-real-time integration of human health data fuels R&D innovation, and identifies the key opportunities and challenges that currently stand in the way of achieving this vision.
Despite advances in data collection, wearables and mobile apps, analytics, AI and machine learning, as well as an increasing openness to grassroots cross-industry collaboration, interviewees expressed repeatedly that the technical challenges of integrating comprehensive health data are less daunting than the human and organizational ones, namely: misaligned incentives that discourage stakeholders from across the research,development and clinical continuum from making this integration possible.
The white paper highlights how misaligned incentives are hampering data sharing withing life sciences organizations, across different life sciences organizations and across healthcare systems and provides recommendations for fixing the underlying problems that can be solved if the industry works together and takes action now to break down siloes, share data and align around shared goals.
The Pistoia Alliance and ZS are calling for organizations ready to help move the industry forward to get in touch and to bring project ideas or opportunities for collaboration to help solve the challenges surfaced in this paper.
