Health Data Research UK (HDR UK)

📢 UK health data should be recognised as "critical national infrastructure", says the #SudlowReview. Professor Cathie Sudlow’s independent review of the UK health data landscape, published today, offers critical insights into how we can safely and securely use data science to improve health services across the UK. At present, scientists frequently have to wait many months – or even years – to securely access health data to improve care and for vital research into diseases like dementia, cancer and heart disease. The review sets out five key recommendations for overcoming the barriers that currently delay the safe and secure use of health data, to transform the national health data ecosystem and improve lives. ➡️ Learn more: https://hubs.li/Q02XsSfS0 #HealthData #DataScience

📱 Watch how a smartphone can be turned into a wearable device for research in our latest webinar. One week to go… 🗓️ 4 December 2024 | 🕐1-2PM GMT | Book for free 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e4SigVgT There’s just a week left to book onto our Developing Digital Bio-Markers for Drug Development webinar. Our expert speaker, Director of Digital Biomarkers Data Analytics at GSK, Valentin Hamy will explain how the use of smartphones and wearables can help to collect real-world patient data that can enhance the value of medicines. He’ll demonstrate how this can be done by sharing details of GSK’s WeaRAble-PRO Study which shows just how much digital biomarkers in clinical trials can complement traditional clinical measures. Those attending will also hear from Aiden Acquah, a final year PhD Student at the University of Oxford. He will share how he used wrist accelerometer technology to better understand early risk markers for those living with Parkinson’s disease. Don't miss out on this fascinating webinar.

Patients and the Public: Shaping the Future of Health Data Research 💡 At HDR UK Wales, we believe that meaningful research starts with collaboration. Claire Newman our PPIE Lead, is championing this approach by placing patient and public voices at the heart of health data research. In October, Claire organised a PPIE event where members of the public engaged directly with researchers from the HDR UK Wales Driver Programmes. These programmes focus on advancing public health, preventing illness, and enhancing patient care through data science. ⚡ Insights from this event reveal the power of collaboration - by working together, researchers and the public can build research that improves lives and makes a lasting impact. 👉 Read more https://lnkd.in/eCqeh9Jj #HealthData #PublicInvolvement #ResearchImpact #Collaboration Rhiannon K Owen Cedric Burden Fiona Lugg-Widger Jo Davies Population Data Science at Swansea University Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) Swansea University Swansea University Medicine, Health and Life Science Sinead Brophy Alysha Morgan Jack Palmer James Rafferty
