The global health and life sciences market is a large, complex and highly fragmented.
While “data” is flowing freely through the system unabated, an “information” gap has formed.

eHealth at Pfizer (2010)
We developed a capability called eHealth, which is a group that focuses on thinking about the convergence of healthcare and information technology.
Over the last nine months, we’ve made three investments in companies that are in the e-Health space: Private Access, Keas, and Acacia Living. All three are focused on driving consumer outcomes-based healthcare. They’re in the vein of personalizing medical treatment, health and wellness; and they’re in the vein of decentralizing health and wellness so that consumers are more responsible and more engaged, as well as their communities and caregivers.
Another capability is looking at complex partnerships between large players effecting healthcare to solve very complex problems requiring multi-player solutions. So, we’ve been building the capability to think about multiple-player collaboration and business models. One of the investments that we made in the last nine months is Private Access. It is enabling a collaborative model, which addresses clinical trial improvement through building an eco-system across the industry, bringing multiple stakeholders, government, private sector, and society together in a coherent and consolidated way.

PHRs
Consumers, healthcare providers, policy makers and payers are leveraging HIT, particularly Electronic Health Records (eHRs), to analyze health data, contain healthcare costs, and improve quality of clinical care
The PACeR Collaborative was established to leverage the HIT Pipeline for Research
PACeR and the HIT Pipeline for Research
The Partnership to Advance Clinical electronic Research (PACeR) is a collaboration between Pfizer and other leading pharmaceutical companies, health technology vendors, New York-based academic medical centers, standards organizations, and regulators to build an advanced clinical research capability enabled by the re-purposing of electronic clinical care data. PACeR’s Primary Goals are:
To more rapidly, accurately, and efficiently identify and enroll patients appropriate for clinical trials
Establish a sustainable business framework and exchange where are all stakeholders realize economic benefit
Identify regulatory and legal issues, implications for business models, and data and systems necessary for success
Develop a practical, implementable, roadmap, addressing the requirements of all stakeholders
