The EMA, a multi-national regulatory agency that serves more than 500 million people living in Europe, will relocate from London to Amsterdam as a direct result of Britain’s vote to leave the European Union (EU), known as Brexit. While the move will be devastating for Britain’s pharmaceutical and health sciences industries, it will bring nearly 1,000 new jobs and an injection of capital to Amsterdam, which will become the EMA’s new home when the U.K. officially leaves the EU in March 2019. Overall, 19 European cities bid on the highly sought-after spot. After a complex voting process, a tie-breaking draw of lots crowned Amsterdam the winner over Milan.

However, the technology is not without its share of concerns and questions. Findings are the result of a new study conducted by The IQVIA Institute for Human Data Science, formerly QuintilesIMS. The study, The Growing Value of Digital Health: Evidence and Impact on Human Health and the Healthcare System, was produced independently as a public service, without industry or government funding, and it is the most comprehensive study of its kind conducted to date.
