Technical Program Manager Architect, Coach and Catalyst who enables a cross-functional team to successfully solve patient, healthcare provider and/or health system problems by developing and/or deploying integrated solutions Today only a fraction of humanity receives the best healthcare. There are many reasons why effective and efficient healthcare may not be available to all, why the latest innovations are not widely adopted and integrated into care, why tailored care plans are not always accessible. But one thing is certain: humanity deserves better. The focus needs to broaden—from treating disease…to delivering patient-centered healthcare. At Roche, personalised healthcare (PHC) means better health, at a lower cost, for people and society. It means shifting from a one-size-fits-all approach to the best care for each person. The convergence of pioneering science, data, analytics and technology—existing and new—is central to this vision. When data become insights, systems learn. The care experience and health outcomes improve. People benefit.
