Topping up the Juncker Plan would be premature and is not supported by evidence, concludes the European Court of Auditors. The Commission’s riposte is that the claim is “plain wrong”

The report outlines several possible actions that the Commission and member-states could take to coordinate their digital health policies better, including a three-year plan for action.

The report says equipment installed in hospitals is older than ever before, and says about 3,000 of the CT units are obsolete. Out-dated devices are unable to use the latest advances in the field, which would mean less radiation exposure for patients.

A research group at the University of Oxford reports developing an online tool to track unreported results. It compares the US Food and Drug Administration’s list of permissions to start trials with the published reports of those trials online. The group notes the methodology isn’t perfect, but does provide some estimates on the extent of the problem.

Social media conversations between people living with rheumatoid arthritis are set to be mined for insights into the treatment of this chronic, painful and disabling condition.

Patients can play active role in shaping drug development and treatment goals, but they need intelligible information to do so
