Mobile Health: The Power of Wearables, Sensors, and Apps to Transform Clinical Trials
Wednesday, September 30, 2015 - Thursday, October 1, 2015
Mobile technology has become a ubiquitous part of everyday life and the practical utility of these devices for improving human health is only now being realized. Wireless medical sensors, or mobile biosensors, is one such technology that is allowing the vast accumulation of real-time biometric data which may hold invaluable clues for treating some of the most devastating human diseases. From wearable gadgets to sophisticated implantable medical devices, the information retrieved from this mobile technology has the potential to revolutionize how clinical research is conducted and disease therapies are delivered in the coming years.
The New York Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with leading clinical trials software firm Medidata Solutions, will assemble professionals from the fields of science and engineering, analytics, healthcare, business, and government to explore the promise wearable biosensors, along with integrated mobile apps, hold in improving the quality of patient care and clinical outcomes. This one-and-a-half-day conference will focus on groundbreaking device innovation, data optimization and validation, commercial platform integration, as well as clinical implementation and regulation.

Session V: Regulation, Compliance, and Standards of Emerging Mobile Biosensor Technologies for Clinical Applications
Regulatory Considerations Regarding the Use of Biosensors in Clinical Trials
Leonard Sacks, MD, Office of Medical Policy, CDER, FDA, Silver Spring, Maryland, United States
Remote data transmission offers advantages for patient convenience, may reduce loss to follow-up and allows capture of data that was not previously possible. However offsite conduct of trials raises considerations regarding patient privacy, attributability of information and patient safety.
Despite the challenges presented by new technologies, the potential opportunities are likely to revolutionize the logistics of clinical trials. These technologies may improve the efficiency of drug development and may allow the study of conditions in ways that were not possible using traditional trial designs.
Data Privacy, Cybersecurity and Health IT Legal Issues in Emerging Mobile Health Technologies
Linda A. Malek, JD, Moses and Singer, LLP, New York, New York, United States
This panel discussion will examine current and pending regulations, as well as certain gaps in the rules, related to health IT infrastructure, emerging technology, medical data privacy and security, and human subject research. We will discuss which agencies are responsible for regulating both healthcare and technology, such as the FDA, FCC, FTC, and the DOJ. Implications of HIPAA, HITECH, The Common Rule, and the EU Data Privacy Directive on the use of mobile apps and biosensors for clinical and research purposes will be explored as well.
Session VI: Societal Impact for the Use of Mobile Biosensor Technologies on Human Health
