Alliance Program Highlights
CRDSA’s Data Protection Work Group white paper “A Review of BioPharma Sponsor Data Sharing Policies and Protection Methodologies” is now available. This white paper examines clinical trial data contribution policies and the data protection methodologies applied to protect patient privacy. Information published by 29 biopharma sponsors was collected across three data-sharing platforms, collated by sponsor size. Results showed that large sponsor contribution policies can provide helpful benchmarks for medium and smaller sponsors.

SPECIAL CONTRIBUTION
The Art of Stakeholdering: A Critical Prerequisite to Successful Collaborations
by Michelle Hunt, Director, Alliance Management Operations
We all know what a “stakeholder” is. Generally, it’s someone with an interest in the activity and/or decisions of an organization (think holding a stake in something). Now let’s talk about “stakeholdering”, a term used less often.

IEEE P7014™ is Creating a Standard for the Ethics of Systems that Interact with Your Emotions.
How do you feel about machines that can read your emotions?
The IEEE P7014™ Working Group is writing a Standard for Ethical considerations in Emulated Empathy in Autonomous and Intelligent Systems. Our work so far has led us down a wide network of ethical and technical rabbit holes, some of which are unique to this new field of “empathic AI” and others are more general. Here are some of the most salient issues, developments, and outcomes of the group’s work, and we invite your participation.
How Can the Internet of Clothing Benefit Our Wellbeing and Environment?
The upcoming World Cup 2022 is going to be a live demonstration of how high-tech sportswear can improve player performance. Coaches will be able to tell the exact distance players keep from each other. And trainers, during practice and matches, will be able to get data on a player’s heartbeat and breathing to measure exertion. By receiving data transmitted directly from the players’ clothing to smartphones, coaches and trainers can make smarter decisions in conjunction with what they observe on the field.
How 6G Can Transform The World and Technology
By Advancing Extended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Digital Twinning, and more, 6G Shows Potential to Optimize Communications, Interoperability, and Sustainability.
Technological advances are growing exponentially. New capabilities make everyday tasks easier or in some cases completely eliminate old ways of doing things. We’re at the beginning of the rollout of 5G, offering greater speed and capacity than ever before. From smart homes and telehealth to immersive games, new and emerging features powered by 5G have elevated our experiences. While we have yet to experience the full potential of 5G technology, we’re already hearing murmurs of 6G technology. What is 6G, when is 6G coming, and how will it impact us?
