HLTH USA 2024 brought together over 12,000 people to Las Vegas, an area with over 2.5M residents and 300K tourists daily. In partnership with Southern Nevada Health District and the Clark County Water Reclamation District, Verily piloted a comprehensive wastewater monitoring program pre, during and after the event to measure the concentration of 8 different pathogens. The data, updated frequently, highlighted actions conference attendees could take to protect themselves from infectious disease.
Technology has the power to drive financial health and operational efficiency in clinical research, allowing sites to focus on bringing more innovative treatment options to their patients. Bon Secours Mercy Health partnered with Verily to implement Viewpoint Site CTMS, our comprehensive clinical trial management system, and transformed their research program by: ✅ Increasing profitability ✅ Strengthening relationships ✅ Maximizing staffing efficiencies

With every toilet flush at HLTH USA 2024 in Las Vegas, the wastewater samples were sent to Verily for pathogen testing. The data helps determine how much of a virus might be in the community and the insights inform public health actions. Our collaboration with treatment facilities is an example of how private and public sectors can work together for the greater good.
Tackling health equity challenges was a featured discussion topic at the Fierce Healthcare Payer Summit this week. Our Chief Clinical Officer and Head of Health Equity Vindell Washington shared strategies and principles we’re applying to Verily solutions: ▶ Design for health equity from the beginning. It’s hard to retrofit. ▶ When it comes to bias and AI, be thoughtful about what data you're using to train the model. ▶ To close health disparities we need to innovate and design with the communities we serve.
Genomic data is generated from millions of individuals worldwide, offering opportunities to drive research and improve clinical care. Sharing this data is critical to advancing discovery in precision medicine. Collectively, we can and should do more to enable genomic data sharing. Here are 12 recommended actions that can be done now, detailed in a newly published Nature Portfolio paper: https://lnkd.in/gSWSS3CV Authors of the publication, including Verily Workbench CTO David Glazer, examined the genomic data sharing landscape, identifying current best practices and future opportunities to turn data into discovery. “Millions of people choose to donate their health-related data to help others. We in the research community can honor their choice by supporting wide data sharing to fuel as many discoveries as possible and wise data sharing to ensure data is used as intended. - David Glazer
Recently, we dropped the first episode of our new #VerilyNof1 documentary series, bringing to life the promise of precision health through wastewater-based epidemiology. Set in Las Vegas, this is a story of a new innovation to help detect the presence of infectious disease in a population that changes daily. Episode 2 in the series is coming soon!
Not only does wastewater monitoring help public health officials understand what infectious diseases might be present in a community, but it is also population equitable. If you are part of the 80% of the U.S. population contributing to a sewer shed, you are counted. Fierce Healthcare breaks down Verily’s approach to wastewater monitoring and our recent activation at HLTH USA 2024.
