  1. How Digital Technology is Transforming Healthcare and Pharma The world is changing and digital is helping it change. It’s not an understatement since there’s hardly any industry left in the world that has not been influenced by the digital medium. The same goes for the Healthcare and Pharma industry equally. Patients are now gaining better access to their own treatment plans and the pharmaceutical companies are becoming more transparent in their listings. These are just a few of the several major shifts happening worldwide due to the digital advancements. Here, we look at the different ways digital is helping in making a major shift in the Healthcare and Pharma Industry. 1.Digital innovations improve efficiency: Since when the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has progressed significantly, it has been influencing the world around us at a rampant speed. The same holds true in the case of the healthcare and pharma industry as well. Artificial Intelligence combined with the deep learning is being used to progressively extract higher level features and analyse huge amounts of data to spot trends. Also, it helps in identifying any disease or ailment way quicker than it would have taken otherwise. It has proven to considerably improve the strategies many healthcare professionals have been using while approaching any case. 2.Non-stop Virtual Care: One of the biggest changes seen after the advancement of digital technology is the possibility of monitoring a patient 24X7 without being physically present at the spot. With several wearables now available for patients, biotechnology companies and healthcare professionals are now able to track the vital points remotely and guide them even when they are miles apart. This helps the professionals provide on-demand services to patients with ease.

  2. Moreover, digital technology has also ensured personalisation in providing the health care, which goes a long way in providing the right care. All healthcare professionals are lapping up the prospect of working in a digital ecosystem to improve efficiency and provide better healthcare services to the patients. 3.Enhanced drug development: Drug development is a long and complex process. With real-time information on clinical researches and studies, the efficiency and speed of drug discovery and development has changed for good. This helps in making quick changes to reduce the possibilities of side effects or the failures in the clinical trials. Along with reduced timeframes, the advancements in the medicinal chemistry services is helping in reducing the cycle times and project costs while maintaining or enhancing drug quality. 4.Data points regarding treatment are now transparent: Gone are the days when Pharmaceutical companies were the only ones who provided information about their products and their role in the treatment program. With the advent of digital technologies that provide information regarding such things, people now have access to the data that they earlier didn’t have. Nowadays, there are several apps available in the market that provide actionable insights regarding how a medical therapy or drug works. With such an abundance of information available now at ease, the efficacy of the treatment programs and discovery informatics can now be openly discussed and analysed. 5.Patients can now play an active role in their own treatment plans: Yes, healthcare professionals will continue to be the main junction between patients and the biopharma industry but they are no longer the sole source, thanks to the changing trends. As mentioned above, patients now have access to adequate information to get a deeper understanding of different treatment plans and hence can have a major say in their own treatment.

  3. In fact, the digital platform helps in assisting patients get better care. The new pharmaceutical companies have taken advantage of this digital shift and have found new ways to communicate with patients and give them information regarding their research and more. Conclusion: While there are many people who that say that the healthcare and pharma industry will not be fast enough to adapt with the digital world, the above mentioned trends show us how we are already seeing a huge shift towards digital. This is just a beginning of a new phase and the advanced data analytics in drug development will continue to expand in the coming years. A progressing contract research organization must lean on digital tools and technology to bring out more accurate results while partnering for their clinical research projects. Leveraging AI can enhance data integrity, drive best practices in predictive modelling, and help build consensus on challenging ethical issues associated with drug discovery and development.
