How the data revolution is transforming biotech and health care, especially in the wake of COVID-19--and why you can't afford to let it pass you by

We are living through a time when the digitization of health and medicine is becoming a reality, with new abilities to improve outcomes for patients as well as the efficiency and success of the organizations that serve them. In The Patient Equation, Glen de Vries presents the history and current state of life sciences and health care as well as crucial insights and strategies to help scientists, physicians, executives, and patients survive and thrive, with an eye toward how COVID-19 has accelerated the need for change. One of the biggest challenges facing biotech, pharma, and medical device companies today is how to integrate new knowledge, new data, and new technologies to get the right treatments to the right patients at precisely the right times--made even more profound in the midst of a pandemic and in the years to come.

Drawing on the fascinating stories of businesses and individuals that are already making inroads--from a fertility-tracking bracelet changing the game for couples looking to get pregnant, to an entrepreneur reinventing the treatment of diabetes, to Medidata's own work bringing clinical trials into the 21st century--de Vries shares the breakthroughs, approaches, and practical business techniques that will allow companies to stay ahead of the curve and deliver solutions faster, cheaper, and more successfully--while still upholding the principles of traditional therapeutic medicine and reflecting the current environment.

  • How new approaches to cancer and rare diseases are leading the way toward precision medicine
  • What data and digital technologies enable in the building of robust, effective disease management platforms
  • Why value-based reimbursement is changing the business of life sciences
  • How the right alignment of incentives will improve outcomes at every stage of the patient journey

Whether you're a scientist, physician, or executive, you can't afford to let the moment pass: understand the landscape with this must-read roadmap for success--and see how you can change health care for the better.

No customer service for product under warranty
Color: Beige
loved this umbrella for the 4 months we used it. did a lot of research to find an umbrella that would stand up to New England "breezes" -- this one was advertised as wind resistant; bought in June 2025, seemed very sturdy, really nice-looking, used on our patio (installed in the base the recommended base) through the summer; stored indoors for the winter; brought back onto patio a couple weeks ago. On a day with average wind a couple weeks ago, the tilt mechanism broke. Umbrella did not fall over, a gust of wind just forced the tilt mechanism to snap. Spent a lot of time trying to fix it, but it's permanently broken. It's less than a year old so still under warranty, as stated in the materials they sent with the umbrella. Same materials list the email to contact if there are any problems with the product. Have emailed the company, twice now, asking for a refund or replacement. Radio silence. Don't buy this unless you're ok with throwing it away after four or five months of use and being ignored by customer service.

Third time in 10 years nerding out on an Amazon patio umbrella on a budget...
Color: Navy Blue, Color: Navy Blue
Color: Beautiful, but the fabric is thinner than other options that are only ~$10 more. Tilt mechanism: Major reason for my 3:5 stars. It's plastic with a metal fastener through the middle. We won't be tilting this umbrella in any wind gust situations over 5mph. The warnings on the stickers and in the instructions make it clear this is a limitation, but it's not mentioned in the listing details. Quality | Value for money: Overall very mid. This is a nice 3-tiered umbrella at a near rock-bottom budget price for that class. I have found other mystery brand umbrellas on Amazon that have lasted for 5+ years, albeit with some (in my opinion) acceptable fading and rust. This umbrella leans hard into plastic everywhere except the fasteners. The ribs and pole are almost as thin as a few layers of beer cans pressed together. At least at the 10' and up diameter, this umbrella requires you to install equally flimsy-feeling extensions in order to get to 10', full sail. Final thoughts: This time around I chose price + delivery speed over quality, and I have a hunch I will be getting what I paid for. I doubt this umbrella lasts for more than 2 to 3 years without UV treatments and a very solid, heavy base.

Excellent Value.
Color: Forest Green, Color: Forest Green
Excellent value. Well made. Assembles in a few minutes. Note that the tilt control is the single click type. You push a button on the support column and tilt the umbrella until it picks in place. Venting design is helpful in keeping umbrella from tipping over in moderate wind. Fabric is a light synthetic. We chose green which we like.

Love this umbrella!
Color: Lake Blue, Color: Lake Blue
I totally love my umbrella. The 10 foot size is perfect for the coverage I needed. The assembly was super easy. The Lake Blue color is more beautiful than the pictures displayed. UV coating is exactly what I need, after having skin cancer. It's also stable in light to moderate wind, thanks to the slits in each tiered layer, allowing wind to pass through. I've only had this umbrella a week, but am impressed at this point. It's much more cost effective than having either an awning or roof extension over my patio. $90 vs $8-20k! Highly recommended.

AMAZING PRODUCT!
I am so impressed by these! It’s winter and my skin has been so sensitive, dry, flaky patches… I’ve tried so many products! I saw a few videos of these being used decided since there were so many independent videos about them I’d try! O.M.G!!! I should have taken a before and after! After only 1 use my face feels sooo much better. No more dry, flakiness. They were extremely easy to use. I have a bit more of a round face and they fit just fine (went up a little higher on my hairline but not bad). Doesn’t leave your skin feeling sticky, just hydrated! 100% will buy again!
