Rocketing with Captain Kirk To A New Frontier: Astronaut Glen de Vries on New Era of Innovation In Space Travel and Health Care. This week, hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter speak with Glen de Vries, Vice Chair for Health and Life Sciences at Dassault Systèmes and Founder and former CEO of Medidata, the first cloud-based system supporting global clinical trials research. He is author of The Patient Equation, which predicts a dramatic period of exponential growth in scientific and biologic discovery, and personalized medicine in the coming years. An astronaut aboard Jeff Bezos' recent Blue Origin rocket flight with William Shatner of Star Trek fame, de Vries says the scientific advances fueling a new era of commercial space flight are also supporting growth in telehealth, precision medicine and accelerated research.
