Live Q&A panel debate: What does ‘the cloud’ mean for pharma?

Launching on May 4th, pharmaphorum will present the first in its Open Debate series, designed to make top industry experts accessible to answer your questions on key topics shaping not only our industry but the day-to-day lives of those working within it.

The first of these focuses on The Cloud, capable of speeding up our industry processes, driving collaboration, exposing new levels of data to interrogation and much more. The chances are you are already using it through a software interface or repository of some form – but this is just the beginning of what it can do.

Working in conjunction with Equinix, we have assembled a panel of experts that bring deep cross-industry experience and would like to present them with your questions during the live event – taking place at 3pm (BST) on May 4^th.

This panel includes:

• Athula Herath, Statistical Director, Medimmune/AstraZeneca
• Umang Patel, Clinical Director, Babylon Health
• Pete Emberson, Founder & CEO, UK IT Forum (ex UK Director of Technology, Pfizer)
• Paul Tunnah (moderator), CEO, pharmaphorum

We welcome all questions on any aspect of The Cloud. Topics may include:

• Data – what is available, why The Cloud is the solution
• Security – how to achieve compliance almost automatically
• Collaboration – why and how The Cloud enables true partnership working
• Patient Outcomes – how does it affect patients and what are the routes to improving outcomes?
• The internet of things – as the ways to gather data and interact increase exponentially – how does The Cloud support this – what are the opportunities and how to eliminate the risk
