13.00, Friday 11 December 2020
This digital FORUM workshop brought together a cross-sector audience to explore emerging risk-prediction technologies and how they might be evaluated, proven cost-effective, and implemented into the healthcare system.
This workshop considered technology-informed risk prediction as an important tool in securing a transformed health service that risk stratifies people appropriately, underpins integrated care, and achieves greater healthcare value. This workshop considered emerging risk-prediction tools, such as the ‘omics, big data and multifactorial data approaches, which can provide a ‘precision’ risk prediction for an individual.
Specifically, we considered how these technologies and the tools derived from them might be evaluated for effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, given that they may be quite disruptive to current clinical pathways, and reliant on prevention and long-term financial return for their cost-effectiveness.
