2nd MULTI-STAKEHOLDER MEETING – Ensuring patient centricity in Osteogenesis Imperfecta research
13 June 2024 @ 8:30 am - 6:00 pm
REMEDi4ALL is hosting our 2nd Multi-stakeholder Meeting (MS) – Ensuring patient centricity in Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) research.
Join the MSM
REMEDi4ALL invites all stakeholders in the OI research community to join us for a day of learning, discussion, and inspiration.
We welcome clinicians, academics, patients and patient representatives, pharmaceutical companies, regulators, payers, health economists and all interested in OI and Rare Bone Diseases research. Together, we will discuss and develop patient centric approaches to research and medicines development for OI.
Our MSM will:
- Share information and advance learning, in a pre-competitive and cooperative setting
- Develop constructive dialogue between all stakeholders
- Facilitate collaboration and knowledge exchange
- Identify current hurdles and propose solutions to ensure patient centricity in OI research
- Publish and disseminate the meeting outcomes to a broader community
The Power of Patients
The patient’s voice is at the heart of this meeting. The OI community and the REMEDi4ALL Patient Advocacy Group have played integral roles in shaping the content and format of this event.
We wanted to ensure that the patients’ perspectives, experiences, and preferences guide our discussions and are at the forefront of OI research and therapeutic development. Over the day, you will hear from numerous patients, patients representative and advocates. They will:
- Share their personal journeys of living with OI, providing insights into the day-to-day challenges they face, as well as the triumphs and setbacks they encounter.
- Highlight unmet medical needs within the OI community
- Discuss patient-relevant research questions and identify research priorities
Patients will have the opportunities to
- Learn about the recent advancements in medicines development in OI
- Initiate collaborations and partnerships with all stakeholders
- Actively participate and engage in scientific discussions about OI
Patient centricity will run as a core-narrative in all our sessions and panel discussions, encouraging each stakeholder to consider the patient perspective in their current and future work.
