“Getting potentially life-saving treatments to the people that need them hinges on connecting science to people’s daily lives, in a way that’s seamless and easy for them. In the coming year, we aim to break down traditional barriers to joining and participating in studies.
With the expansion of Project Baseline to new health areas, we’re learning about how we can reduce the complexity of navigating research to help people access the opportunities they need. We’re also continuing to focus on enabling people to generate scientific data in real-world settings — whether by wearing unobtrusive sensors, or participating from the comfort of their own homes.” “Growing the community and ecosystem of Project Baseline is critical to engaging real people in research. Earlier this year, we announced the Project Baseline Health Systems Consortium, an effort to identify the biggest challenges in research. In 2020, the consortium will explore the use of new tools and technology to improve research broadly, including better matching of participants and clinicians with research opportunities. We also look forward to building on our partnerships with patient advocacy groups and industry-leading life sciences organizations to establish important research initiatives driven by the patient voice.” "The Baseline Health Study is an incredibly diverse cohort that includes both healthy people and people at various stages of disease. As we begin to evaluate the relationship between digital biomarkers and health and disease, I think we may find that the digital signal has different value and different meaning in healthy people, particularly younger, healthier people, versus older people with greater disease burden."
