Our Communication Services
In this episode of the Vital Health Podcast, host Duane Schulthess speaks with Tim Scott, President & CEO of Biocom California, a biopharma executive with more than two decades of experience, including spinning out companies from UC San Diego and leading firms acquired by BioMarin and Novartis, to discuss how California’s life sciences ecosystem became a global innovation engine, why the state’s research and venture networks matter, and how policy headwinds such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Most Favored Nation (MFN) reference pricing reshape investment, rare disease development, and competition with Europe and China.

Acute coronary syndrome: What is the cost-effectiveness of prevention, point-of-care technology and telemonitoring?
September, 2012
Abstract
This study is a cost-analysis that calculates the impact of three interventions for patients identified as ‘at risk’ for Acute Coronary Syndrome – a cardio-vascular exercise programme, point-of-care digital diagnostics, and telemonitoring adherence tools. The results demonstrate that the largest impact is measured when all three interventions are utilized simultaneously producing a cumulative savings of €4424 and 0.126 QALY per patient. We also find a significant decrease in Emergency Room visits by 15% and changes in rates of utilization of Catharization (−59%), Angioplasty (−59%), Bypass (−17%), Medication (−14%) and Rehabilitation (−13%).
Unlocking the value of personalised healthcare in Europe—breast cancer stratification
June, 2012
Abstract
Through stratification, this simulation shows that there is great potential to improve the efficiency of treating breast cancer. By segmenting the female population at the age of 50 based on family history and genetic testing, our model shows a reduction in costs of breast cancer treatments by 37% with no loss of efficacy accomplished primarily through a 60% drop in incidence of metastatic stages of the disease

The IRA’s 9-year cap for small molecules and 13-year cap for biologics rerouted investment away from the pills seniors rely on. We sat down with @steveusdin1 to unpack how this shift skews R&D incentives and future therapies.
