Rick Grobbee - Trials@Home & Tribulations with COVID19

One of the world’s leading Epidemiologists, Rick Grobbee has been at the centre multiple ground breaking projects of the Innovative Medicine’s Initiative that have focused on harnessing health data in new and unique ways. IMI’s GetReal, Big Data for Better Outcomes, and Big Data@Heart have all focused on improving research, but now, Rick Grobbee is leading the newly launched Trials@Home, that will move clinical trials from the hospital to the home, fundamentally changing the way clinical research is conducted.
