Abstract:

From clinical trials to care delivery, “digital” has become an integral part of how we think about medicine, health, and biology.  The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated this conversation, and forced a roadmap, once measured in years or decades, to unfold over days, weeks, and months.  Yet the scaffolding for this roadmap had already emerged prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.  In this presentation, we will describe a special collection of papers on “Digital Medicine,” which emerged from the Harvard Digital Medicine Symposium, which was sponsored by the Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science and held in Boston in May of 2019. Looking both back and ahead, we describe these topics’ ongoing relevance as we contemplate the post-pandemic future of health care.
