Thank you for Subscribing to Life Science Review Weekly Brief

The life sciences sector has a significant impact in many fields and encourages companies to change their product development process.

Fremont, CA: The life sciences sector consists of companies engaged in biotechnology, environmental, pharmaceuticals, life systems technologies, biomedical devices, nutraceuticals, biomedical technologies, and cosmeceuticals. It generally refers to the organizations that are devoting themselves to research and development, commercialization, and technology transfer in these areas. Like any other field, life sciences will have a significant impact on all of these industries, and this will encourage companies to change the methods of developing and commercializing their products. Thus, companies will be embracing new ways to enhance operational efficiency – but revolutionizing the pharmaceutical supply chain or using artificial intelligence. However, one thing that is essential to bring change is to develop partnerships that are innovative, relationship-driven, and creating value for patients. Companies must remain updated on the latest changes in the industry trends as well in order to succeed.

Here are the top six trends that will revolutionize the life sciences industry.

1. Regulatory Automation

To keep abreast of the new tech developments, life sciences companies will have to automate drug evaluation to avoid delays and discrepancies.

2.  Automating Content Management

Paper was the primary source for documenting medical and life science aspects due to auditing and regulatory requirements. 

But the trend now is to use automated content management systems as it’s more secure. 

3. Standardization

After they started to modernize their applications last year to adopt new technologies and boost patient engagement, life sciences businesses are expected to move forward this year to standardize their business model.

4. Compliance management technology

As they are spreading their business into new markets with new target audiences across the globe, life sciences companies are expected shortly to turn, more and more, to machines for unifying information management ─ a procedure that will result in additional automating for their processes of global compliance. 

5. Internet of Things (IoT) technologies

To ride the innovation wave, life sciences businesses will concentrate more efforts on integrating their systems with the latest Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, such as wearable medical devices and remote patient monitoring systems.

6.  Augmented Reality

The near future will witness a considerable increase in life sciences companies’ utilization of augmented reality technology to boost the knowledge transfer processes vitally required to master patient care.
