Life Sciences Digital Transformation Strategies
Transformative digital strategies are needed for faster study startup, to harmonize data from any source, and to streamline workflows. All to give today’s life sciences stakeholders what they need—quicker results, with treatments reaching patients faster.
The time is now for digital transformation
The swift transition to virtual clinical trials during the Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated that eClinical solutions for collecting data and conducting visits can bring real benefits to clinical research studies and, ultimately, patients.
Data influx
Direct-to-patient data collection devices and applications have created a much larger infrastructure of required integrations. This shift in clinical trial complexity demands better data collection methods, which current electronic data capture (EDC) technologies are not designed to support.
Siloed systems vs. a unified platform
Due to pressure for faster, more efficient clinical trials, the life sciences industry is moving away from segmented technologies and complex workflows that extend trial timelines and increase costs, making way for more cross-functional and collaborative approaches.
Decentralization
The increased pace of decentralization due to the pandemic has proven to be of real value in remote data collection, as well as virtual patient engagement, and now the industry must establish standards and best practices to support these new approaches.
