A Former Science Minister Wants to Fund the NHS by Selling Patient Data
一位前科学部长希望通过出售病人数据为英国国民保健服务提供资金
Paul Drayson, born blind in one eye, has never forgotten the treatment he received as a child from England’s National Health Service, which provides free care to all residents. Now, as the health program’s finances face increasing pressure, Drayson, a former U.K. science minister, is on a mission to help save the government-funded NHS by selling access to patient data to drug and device companies. “This country has to pay its way in the world,” he says of the U.K. “How the NHS works with the global life sciences industry is key to the health of the nation.”
保罗·德雷森，一只眼睛先天失明，从来没有忘记他小时候接受过英国国家健康服务机构的治疗，该机构为所有居民提供免费治疗。现在，由于卫生计划的资金面临着越来越大的压力，前英国科学部长德雷森的使命是通过向医药和设备公司出售病人数据来帮助拯救政府资助的NHS。"这个国家必须在世界上支付自己的方式,"他说英国"如何与全球生命科学产业的工作是国家健康的关键。"
Drayson founded Sensyne Health Plc, a for-profit company that’s trying to get divisions of the NHS to agree to put patient information, including DNA sequences, into a large database. Over its 71-year history, the NHS has collected records on its patients and, in recent years, launched an intensive drive to collect and use patients’ DNA data for care and research. Sensyne’s initial target is to gather information on 5 million NHS patients; ultimately, Drayson says, he would like to have access to the data on all 55 million members. According to a coming report from EY consultants, the data could be worth as much as $12 billion annually in better patient care and health, and benefit to the U.K. economy. So far, Sensyne has signed up six of the NHS’s 150 hospital divisions, known as trusts, representing about 3 million patients, with each trust receiving Sensyne shares worth about $3 million.
德雷森成立了 Sensyne Health Plc，这是一家营利性公司，试图让 NHS 各部门同意将患者信息(包括 DNA 序列)输入一个大型数据库。在其71年的历史中，英国国家医疗服务系统已经收集了病人的记录，近年来，发起了一项密集的运动，收集和使用病人的 DNA 数据用于护理和研究。Sensyne 最初的目标是收集500万 NHS 患者的信息; Drayson 说，最终他希望能获得所有5500万会员的数据。 根据安永顾问即将发布的一份报告，这些数据每年可能价值高达120亿美元，用于改善病人护理和健康状况，并有利于英国经济。到目前为止，Sensyne 已经与 NHS 的150个医院部门中的6个签约，这些部门被称为信托基金，代表了大约300万名患者，每个信托基金都收到了 Sensyne 价值300万美元的股票。
