Neurodegenerative diseases have long challenged science, complex biology, slow progression, and a history of setbacks.   But progress is real.   Emerging neuron replacement therapies are showing encouraging early and mid-stage data, signalling a potential shift toward true disease-modifying treatment.   As we reflect on Parkinson's Awareness Month, we recognize the scientists, clinicians, and innovators who continue to push forward, turning persistence into progress, and progress into hope.   Because better decisions, driven by evidence and expertise, are what ultimately bring innovation closer to patients.   https://lnkd.in/gRmzGW8 #WorldParkinsonsDay #Neuroscience #InnovationInHealthcare #MedicalResearch #FutureOfHealthcare #OPENHealth

Day 2 at the Asembia AXS26 Summit in Las Vegas and the momentum continues. It’s been a great mix of insightful discussions and valuable connections so far, with more to come. If you’re here in Las Vegas, stop by Booth #1921 to connect with the OPEN Health team. https://lnkd.in/gRmzGW8 Omer Zaidi | Mark Bernauer | Brittany Anderson | #AXS26 #Asembia #MarketAccess #OPENHealth

At OPEN Health, we're energized by the science heading to Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2026.   Gastroenterology and hepatology are in a moment of remarkable convergence: RNA interference and antisense approaches are reaching clinical translation in liver disease; the TNF superfamily, most notably TL1A, is reshaping the immunology of IBD, with multi-target strategies across the broader pathway under active investigation; multi-modal combinations targeting viral replication, immune exhaustion, and epigenetic silencing are generating clinical signs for HBV functional cure.   Meanwhile, the gut-liver-metabolic axis is emerging as one of the most consequential frameworks in modern medicine, connecting obesity, metabolic liver disease, and GI biology in ways that are redefining entire treatment paradigms.   For those working at the interface of medical strategy and science, this is a meeting that demands close attention. The data presented over the next four days will shape clinical thinking, pipeline decisions, and patient outcomes for years to come.   If you're heading to McCormick Place and want to connect, or are developing assets in any of these spaces, we'd love to hear from you. https://lnkd.in/gRmzGW8   Dana Franznick | #DDW2026 #GIHepatology #MedicalStrategy #MASH #IBD #OpenHealth

When do simultaneous publications make sense, and when do they not? At ISMPP 2026, Demetrios Michael, SVP, Medical and Scientific Services at OPEN Health, led roundtable sessions exploring the impact, value, and realities of simultaneous publications. The takeaway: they can drive excitement and visibility, but they are resource‑intensive and not always the right strategic choice. Alignment and planning matter more than ever. Watch the video for Demetrios’s reflections. https://lnkd.in/gRmzGW8 ISMPP (International Society for Medical Publication Professionals) | #ISMPP2026 #OPENHealth

Thinking about the CMPP credential and what it could mean for your career?    At ISMPP 2026, Ann Gordon (Haddow), VP, Medical and Scientific Services at OPEN Health, joined a panel discussion on Empowering Your Career: The CMPP Journey, sharing how CMPP certification and engagement with ISMPP have influenced her professional path.    Watch the video to hear Ann’s perspective on growth, leadership, and the value of ethical publication practice. https://lnkd.in/gRmzGW8 ISMPP (International Society for Medical Publication Professionals) | #ISMPP2026 #OPENHealth

Where does duplication happen most in medical communications, and how do we reduce it?    At ISMPP 2026, Amy Zannikos and Diane Sloan from OPEN Health led a roundtable on aligning publications and communications across multidisciplinary teams.    From identifying high‑risk activities to using a publication plan as a central point of alignment, the session focused on practical steps teams can take now to improve efficiency and collaboration.    Watch the video for their key insights and next steps. https://lnkd.in/gRmzGW8 ISMPP (International Society for Medical Publication Professionals) \ #ISMPP2026 #OPENHealth 

How do we make complex data clearer, more engaging, and more accessible?    At ISMPP 2026, Justin Sodano, PA, Global Head of Creative Strategy at OPEN Health, led a workshop on Enhancing Visual Communication, exploring the role of publication extenders, impactful graphics, and accessibility‑first design.    Watch the video to hear Justin’s take on where visual communication is headed next. https://lnkd.in/gRmzGW8   ISMPP (International Society for Medical Publication Professionals) | #ISMPP2026 #OPENHealth

How can AI support better scientific communication without replacing human judgment?    At ISMPP 2026, Jill Condello, EVP, Medical Strategy at OPEN Health, shared practical insights from her session Mind and Machine, focused on integrating AI into SCP development in a targeted, workflow‑appropriate way.    Watch the video to hear Jill’s key takeaways on AI as an organizer, a thought partner, and where humans still need to lead. https://lnkd.in/gRmzGW8   ISMPP (International Society for Medical Publication Professionals) | #ISMPP2026 #OPENHealth

ISMPP Annual 2026 is a wrap! And what a meeting it was.   This year's agenda reflected something we're hearing from clients constantly: the questions facing publication and medical communications teams in 2026 are more interconnected than ever. AI governance. Evidence integration. Measuring impact. Narrative integrity. They don't sit in separate workstreams anymore.   Our team was proud to contribute across seven sessions:   🔹 Unlocking Agile Strategic Publication Planning Through Efficient Collaborations and Processes 🔹 Enhancing Visual Communication: Creating Impact and Accessibility in Medical Publications and Communications 🔹 Empowering Your Career: Insights and Strategies for the CMPP Journey 🔹 Mind and Machine: Exploring AI and Human Insight in SCP Development 🔹 Simultaneous Publications: Measuring Impact and Value Across Stakeholders 🔹 Reducing Duplication: Aligning Publications and Communications Across Multidisciplinary Teams 🔹 Pop Culture and Publications: Navigating Misinformation in the Age of Social Media Influence   We're especially proud to share that our poster on Pop Culture and Publications took home the Best Visual and Accessible Design award. It's a recognition that means a lot, because how we communicate science is just as important as the science itself. Congratulations to the authors, Roxanna Munir, PhD, Emily Clark, PhD, CMPP, Anita Toscani, PhD, CMPP, Scott M., Emma Winter and OPEN Health presenter Karen King PhD CMPP.   The conversations we had this week will shape how we work with clients over the next 12 months. We'll be sharing our key takeaways from the conference shortly.   Contact us to continue the conversation https://lnkd.in/gRmzGW8 ISMPP (International Society for Medical Publication Professionals) | Dana Dena | Zihra Zhuta l Charlotte Moseley | Charlotte Williams l Chase Brown | Luis Perez | Hannah Bassirat | Demetrios Michael | Patrick Donnelly, CMPP | Justin Sodano, PA | Amy Zannikos | Ann Gordon (Haddow) #ISMPP2026 #OPENHealth
