Happy Holidays from IDEA-FAST

Happy Holidays from the IDEA-FAST Project Team! 🎄 

As we close the chapter on 2024, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our consortium members, partners, and supporters. IDEA-FAST is making great progress, thanks to your dedication and hard work over the past year, which has been essential to its advancement. 

Here are some of the highlights from this year that we’re incredibly proud of: 
🌟 Recruitment for our Clinical Observation Study has reached over 75% of the target, thanks to the flexibility and commitment of our study sites. 
🌟 Enhanced data quality and new developments in our Data Management Platform have strengthened our foundation for identifying digital biomarkers. 
🌟 We established a Biomarker Selection Committee, with the final selection of candidate biomarkers expected by December 2025. 
🌟 Four new publications, including one in NPJ Digital Medicine, bring our total to 24 peer-reviewed papers, reflecting the strength of our collaborative efforts. 
🌟 Patient and public engagement efforts have been revitalised with a revised strategy, ensuring their voices remain central to our work. 
🌟 Sustainability planning is progressing well, with work ongoing to maximise the impact of our outcomes beyond the project’s lifetime. 

Looking ahead to 2025, the final stretch of our journey, we are counting on your continued collaboration as we move closer to delivering impactful outcomes in digital health. But before we dive into the challenges and opportunities of the new year, let’s take a moment to celebrate. 🎉 

From all of us at IDEA-FAST, we wish you a joyful and restful festive season filled with peace and happiness. Here’s to a bright and successful year ahead! 🥂
