  • How to make healthcare systems that rival science fiction

    The healthcare systems that science fictions (sci-fi) portray seem fantastical. Treatments to newfound diseases are designed, tested, simulated, developed, personalized and mass produced before the credits roll. This may seem unrealistic, but science fiction often predicts human technologies – even within Life Sciences.

    In this fascinating discussion, John Nixon - Global Vice President of Process Industries at Siemens Digital Industries Software and Patrick Ansems - Global Head of Life sciences at Siemens Digital Industries Software separate the fiction from reality. They then uncover the pillars needed to bring the future of healthcare to the present.

    In this podcast you will learn:

    • 00:56 – How collecting more data is not the goal; its changing development cycles
    • 06:51 – What are the three pillars of personalized medicine
    • 08:45 – Why we must look close to home to rival the healthcare systems of sci-fi

              • Why the digitalization of the life sciences is so unique

                Unlike many other industries, data is overly abundant in the life sciences. Biological data, literature data, clinical data, formulation data, regulatory data and more flood the industry with information. But gaining insights from the intersections of these large data volumes is difficult as they are often isolated between disparate systems.

                The digitalization journey of the life sciences industry is about contextualizing and connecting this data so that the innovations available to other industries – like digital twins, simulations and artificial intelligence (AI) – are adapted for medical applications. The aim is to bring people, processes and products together to deliver better, more individualized therapies that are approved faster, administered earlier and as effective as possible.
