- What emerging biological or behavioural measurements and calculations can be used to ascertain or impersonate a person’s identity?
- Evidence on inequality of the impact of the diseases across different population groups.
- Evidence on the prevalence of long-term conditions associated with the disease areas covered by the healthcare missions (cancer, ageing, dementia, mental health, respiratory disease, obesity, addiction). Further, we would like to understand what links exist between these disease areas: whether there are mutual risk factors or whether any of these disease areas are a risk factor for another.
- What is the impact of long COVID on transport accessibility?
- Manufacturing Innovation: We would like to have a more comprehensive forward look for new drugs, devices, or other therapeutics to identify potential innovations faster.
- Medical errors are a major cause of death among Americans, and clinical miscommunication is considered the leading cause of medical errors.
- Evidence on whether reductions in excess adiposity improve patient outcomes and prevent the incidence of developing secondary disease or multiple long-term conditions.
- Explore other databases that could expand our coverage of the various elements of the life sciences ecosystem.
- What advances in analysing microbiomes and genetics can be utilised to identify or track criminals from traces found at crime scenes?
- A usable forward look on new technologies (including medicines, devices, therapeutics, precision medicine tools and approaches to drug development) in development.
- What emerging technologies, such as wearables, can help identify and enable earlier interventions for struggling workforce members before they reach crisis point, for example, through the analysis of psychophysiological data?
- Evidence of the potential impact of genomics on the productivity of the pharmaceutical sector.
