For our customer located in Basel/Switzerland we are currently looking for a: Digital Biomarker Solution Architect (m/f/x)
Background:
In our client’s Pharmaceutical Research and Early Development organization (pRED), we make transformative medicines for patients in order to tackle some of the world’s toughest unmet healthcare needs. At pRED, we are united by our mission to transform science into medicines. Together, we create a culture defined by curiosity, responsibility and humility, where our talented people are empowered and inspired to bring forward extraordinary life-changing innovation at speed. This position is located in Data Products & Platforms, a chapter within the Data & Analytics function, which pushes boundaries of drug discovery and development, enabling pRED to achieve its goals.
Digital tools, such as smartphones or wearables, are able to continually measure and collect vital health information – or “Digital Biomarkers” – from patients. Digital Biomarkers are changing how future medicines will be developed and could lead to more personalized use of new medications that will transform the lives of patients. Advances in wearable devices, such as phones, watches, textiles or delivery devices, which track a patient’s vital signs and monitor for symptoms, all have the potential to vastly accelerate clinical development.
Digital biomarker studies are enabled by complex data collection and processing ecosystems comprising mobile applications, wearables, sensors, data lakes, data processing pipelines, analytics platforms, databases, device lifecycle management solutions etc. Currently, the use of digital biomarkers across clinical development programs is expanding significantly – generating terabytes of sensor/tracking data from dozens of studies and 10’000s of patients across global studies.
We’re seeking a future-thinking innovator with a strong track record as solution architect to drive forward the design, implementation, and maintenance of our Remote Monitoring Patient Platform (RPMP) for processing, analysis and storage of digital biomarker data.
