| Highlight | Join us, in our second Health Research from Home webinar, for an in-depth analysis of Verily’s ‘Study Watch and Virtual Motor Exam’ clinical trial. Living with Parkinson’s disease can be cruel and painful. Through this trial, Verily worked with patients to find ways to make their journey less difficult. From conception and design, to developing and validating digital measures, to lessons learnt and future opportunities. Our speakers share their experiences of using wearable devices to help inform your future research. Here’s what you can expect this webinar to cover: Clinical area: Parkinson’s disease Data types: Active tasks and passive sensor data using Verily Study Watch Data analysis and modelling: Digital biomarker development/ validation Health Research from Home is thrilled to be sharing cutting edge case studies of exemplary work in this emerging field. By learning from each other, our community can go on to create world-leading research that has the power to truly transform peoples’ lives for the better. |

| Speaker | Professor Will Dixon, Health Research from Home Lead |
| Speaker Bio | Will is a Professor of Digital Epidemiology at the University of Manchester, an honorary consultant rheumatologist at Salford Royal Hospital, Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust and Health Research from Home Lead. His research aims to address clinically important questions by analysing data from patient populations, with particular focus on digital health data. This includes the analysis of electronic health record data from GP surgeries and from hospitals (for example, examining the safety of drugs used in rheumatology) and the collection and analysis of data direct from patients using smartphones and wearables. Examples of innovative digital health research include Cloudy with a Chance of Pain, REMORA (Remote Monitoring of RA) and Assembling the Data Jigsaw. Will is the academic co-lead for the Greater Manchester Secure Data Environment (GM SDE). He also chairs the Scientific Advisory Board for Our Future Health and is a member of MRC's Population and Systems Medicine Board and Population Health Sciences Group. |
| Time | 3 July 2024, 1-2PM |
| Highlight | Join us for our inaugural webinar where Health Research from Home Lead, Professor Will Dixon explains more about: • How our unique partnership came into being and who is involved. • How we’re going to grow and support a community of people looking to conduct health research using smartphones and wearables. • How we’re going to revolutionise health research by working with those living with long-term health conditions to improve their outcomes. • Insights from Professor Dixon's previous study using smartphone data: Cloudy with a Chance of Pain |

Alongside each webinar you will have the opportunity to book on to an Information Governance Clinic, a Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement Clinic, and a Tech Clinic to support you as you develop your own smartphone and wearable health research project.
This is your chance to gain unique one-to-one advice with experts in their fields. This unprecedented access will allow you to discuss the specific issues holding your research back and gain practical advice on how to resolve these issues quickly and effectively.
Despite case studies of good success, patient-generated health data research is yet to deliver at scale because of many challenges. We hope that these clinics will help to fill those gaps in knowledge, skill and tools so that we can make the UK a world-leader in this field of research.
