Garvan And Google Cloud Help Solve Australia’s Health Challenges With Genomics Sequencing

Leading Australian biomedical research institution demonstrates the power of cloud-based genomic processing with Google Cloud   Sydney, Australia, May 23, 2022 – Google Cloud and The Garvan Institute of Medical Research (Garvan) today announced a milestone in Australia’s pathway to deploying genomic medicine. In an Australian-first, the organizations collaborated on the largest genome sequencing sample ever performed in Australia, processing 14,000 genomes in less than two weeks. This is a significant step forward for genomic research, which proves the power of cloud-based genomic processing and its potential to lead to earlier diagnoses, interventions, and targeted treatments of gene-related health issues. Google Cloud supported Garvan…

Confidential VMs – A Security Breakthrough For Medical Device Software

Editor’s note: This is a guest blog by Idea Evolver and AstraZeneca Delivering better healthcare is increasingly dependent on technology. Recently, there has been movement towards self-managed healthcare via remote technology – a trend that accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Examples of this are initiatives that directly empower consumers to obtain preventive therapies without a physician’s prescription. AstraZeneca, a global, science-led, biopharmaceutical company, is currently recruiting for the Technology-Assisted Cholesterol Trial in Consumers (TACTiC). TACTiC is a Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) application designed to ensure that only the candidates in the trial with an appropriate level of risk…

Healthcare Industry Trends 2022: Data Empowers Patients, Researchers, Partners

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to push the healthcare and life sciences industry in entirely new ways. In record time, we’ve witnessed public health officials, vaccine developers, equipment manufacturers, and essential workers take life saving actions—regularly putting their own lives at risk—to respond to the exceptional challenges of our time. Yet after all the turmoil and uncertainty of the pandemic, record breaking levels of investment continue to come into the market to fuel innovations. Vaccine development is now measured in weeks rather than years; providers are leveraging telehealth technologies to improve the physician and patient experience; and individuals have embraced a…

17 Ways Technology Could Change The World By 2025

We asked our 2020 intake of Technology Pioneers for their views on how technology will change the world in the next five years. From quantum computers and 5G in action to managing cancer chronically, here are their predictions for our near-term future.   1. AI-optimized manufacturing Paper and pencil tracking, luck, significant global travel and opaque supply chains are part of today’s status quo, resulting in large amounts of wasted energy, materials and time. Accelerated in part by the long-term shutdown of international and regional travel by COVID-19, companies that design and build products will rapidly adopt cloud-based technologies to aggregate, intelligently…
