Current Scenario In Pharmaceutical Industry

In a broad sense, Artificial Intelligence is involved with computer systems performing tasks that usually need human intelligence. It can be amazingly useful in managing data and presenting results that promote better decision making and help saving human effort, cost and time. However, many companies using traditional methods to run their healthcare business are yet to adopt this technology. But what they are not understanding is without using Artificial Intelligence, a pharma industry can be affected in various ways:
  • Medical information collection and processing can be slowed down
  • Unavailability of data and medical records
  • Costly and time-consuming drug discovery and R&D process 
Therefore application AI with machine learning is highly necessary for making all the healthcare-related processes seamless, cost-effective, efficient and hassle-free. 
Let’s have a look at the major applications of AI and machine learning in the pharmaceutical industry.
