About Sarah Small
I sit at the intersection of clinical science, digital health, and patient impact. With a background in clinical psychology and health informatics, I\'ve spent my career translating evidence into action — leading Medical & Scientific Affairs for a prescription digital therapeutic (DTx) with being the FDA correspondent, building patient centricity and decentralized trial functions at Moderna and Biogen, and generating real-world evidence that changes how clinicians and payers see digital medicine.I\'ve pioneered digital biomarker programs (Biogen/Parkinson\'s QMA), led Otsuka Precision Health in establishing the regulatory framework for Rejoyn\'s expanded indication pipeline, and been selected twice as a mentor by the NIH NIA Start-Up Innovation Challenge. I\'m passionate about closing the gap between clinical innovation and the patients who need it most.Currently pursuing a Doctorate in Medical Science with a concentration in Health Informatics at Northeastern University.
Experience
Member of the Peer Review Board
Feb 2026 — Present
As a member of the Peer Review Board for the Journal of Patient Experience (JPX), I leverage my expertise as the Head of Medical Innovation & Evidence to evaluate scholarship that bridges the gap between patient-centered theory and measurable clinical impact.My focus is on vetting research that is specific, arguable, and supported by scientific evidence—ensuring that \"patient experience\" is elevated from an abstract sentiment into a rigorous, data-driven medical discipline. By applying a lens of implementation science and health experience (HX), I help curate the evidence-backed insights necessary to operationalize individualized solutions across the healthcare ecosystem.
