AI/ML in Digital Health Technologies (DHTs) – Started Q4 2023
Project Scope:
The use cases of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) in digital health technologies to improve healthcare through software.
Understand the challenges, and identify the gaps. Connect different stakeholders, share knowledge, and advance in developing AI/ML in DHTs.
Current Status:
Q1 2025 Forum with proposed date and speaker
Regular Project Meeting Day/Time:
Meetings every two months on Mondays 6-7pm
Key Skills:
Experience with the use of DHTs
Experience with AI/ML
Cloud Adoption in the Life Sciences Industry – Started Q1 2019
Project Scope:
Cloud technology and its use of multi-tennant app solutions are increasing the capabilities of Life Sciences solutions and reducing IT infrastructure costs through the sharing of infrastructure and investment cross-industry.
In some areas multi-tenant cloud solutions have become ubiquitous. For example, Salesforce.com claim >150K customers utilise their platform for Customer Relationship Management. Furthermore, many routinely rely on Cloud services associated with their computer backups and data services associated with cell phones.
Nonetheless, the perceptions and interpretations of the regulations by which the Life Sciences industry must conduct its business still leave many uncertain about whether or not they can (or should) pursue the use of Cloud solutions for GxP applications.
The goal of this project has been to provide a practical, usable framework to overcome those barriers. Through the use of this framework, it is envisaged that the barriers to adoption by Pharma of Cloud-based technology will be addressed.
Current Status:
Draft for exit strategy document
Regular Project Meeting Day/Time:
Bi-weekly: Thursdays 4-5pm GMT
Key Skills:
Experience in cloud-based technology
Experience with GxP applications

Investigating the Use of FHIR in Clinical Research – Started Q1 2021 | |
|---|---|
Project Scope: Increasing interest in eSource keeps the issue of data integration between Research Systems (EDC, CTMS, CDMS, etc) and healthcare systems (EHR, etc) as a consistent want for Sponsors of Clinical Investigators and Regulators. Previous efforts to make this a repeatable, scalable solution have not met with wide-scale adoption, for a variety of reasons. Some common historical points of view have included:
Many of these issues are on the path to being resolved; government programs have pushed the adoption and accessibility of electronic health records. In addition, there are a number of stakeholders in the Research Industry that are making the use of healthcare resources a priority for the future; examples include Transcelerate eSource initiative and HL7 Vulcan Accelerator. | Current Status:

The Use of Git in Statistical Programming – Started Q1 2025 | |
|---|---|
Project Scope: What features are most beneficial to stat programming? What are the benefits of Git? There is interest across the pharmaceutical industry in using Git for statistical programming. Some companies have already incorporated Git, or are attempting to, and there are common challenges being faced. In these cases, the introduction of Git has increased the complexity of a statistical programmer’s tasks, which has led to challenges in uptake and to taking advantage of the benefits Git offers. This is an important challenge to overcome for increasing efficiency of operations. The purpose of this Working Group project is to provide the industry with tools and guidance for addressing and overcoming this common challenge. | Current Status:
