Partners Connected Health, an IT-focused team at Boston-based Partners HealthCare, unveiled a digital health collaboration with Brussels, Belgium-based global biopharmaceutical company UCB Oct. 11.
Partners Connected Health and UCB will collaborate to develop digital health solutions that support patients with epilepsy. Their ultimate goal is to provide better connectivity between patients, providers and payers to improve care and quality of life outcomes.
To develop the digital health solutions, Partners Connected Health will build on UCB's experience in epilepsy treatment and extensive ethnographic research into the condition.
"Addressing patients' unmet needs is an important opportunity to create insightful, patient-focused and evidence-based digital health solutions to help people with epilepsy live healthier lives," said Kamal Jethwani, MD, senior director of innovation at Partners Connected Health.
