  • Dr. Scott Wagers helps people develop consortium projects to speed up the realization of the future of medicine.
  • The translational gap is the delay between research findings and clinical implementation, and it takes about 17 years to cross.
  • The bottleneck in the translational gap is the resistance to change and the lack of adoption.
  • AI has the potential to free humans to focus on what they're really optimized for, which is creativity, pattern recognition, and working together.
  • The human mind is optimized for certain things that AI can free us to focus on.

It takes 17 years to go from research finding to patient impact. This translational gap is too long for patients who need better diagnoses and treatments today.

I am focused along with my colleagues at BioSci Consulting on narrowing this gap which is both figuratively and literally a valley of death.

I bring a unique perspective on the future of medicine and the future of how we should work together in a distributed manner.

Having moved to Europe 16 years ago I found myself unable to continue my work as a physician and a researcher. Instead, I got engaged in putting together large-scale collaborations for projects that were attempting to achieve major shifts in how we approach the diagnosis and management of disease. Through the past 15 years I have designed more than 60 collaborative projects and spent over 15,000 hours facilitating dialogue in mostly online meetings.

I developed a passion for finding ways to get the most creative output from diverse groups to solve problems and develop new projects. I have written a book Assembled Chaos which focused on how to create and get value out of multi-partner collaborations (consortia) by increasing the interaction amongst participants.

I also host a podcast Beyond Publications which is aimed at learning the secrets of leaders in life science and healthcare with the goal of increasing the number of people who take a leadership role in driving forward healthcare innovation.
