August 28, 2026Life sciences industry's big win: last in the digitalization race
Every process industry is unique, but few have the life-or-death stakes of the life sciences industry. This cost of failure, the regulatory burden that results and the heavy data load of the industry have slowed its adoption of new digitalization technologies, like comprehensive Digital Twins and artificial intelligence (AI).
But this delay has a silver lining. The life sciences industry can now implement new digitalization tools that have been proven and perfected by others. And they can do so during a time where the industry stands to improve more than any other has.
In this podcast you will learn:
00:50 – What Digital Transformation challenges uniquely affect life sciences

04:48 – How an explosion of data in life sciences outpaces other industries

07:01 – How this explosion of data affects the adoption of digitalization tools like AI

August 14, 2026How to make medical products that avoid Eroom’s law
Despite life sciences’ developments in science, instrumentation, data generation and compute power, Eroom’s law dictates that the price of developing new medical treatments doubles every nine years.
Since the future of the medical field trends towards personalized healthcare, however, the economies of scale no longer work if each bespoke treatment follows this nine-year trend. To bend Eroom’s law into one that better resembles Moore’s law, life sciences experts need industrial AI and the comprehensive digital twin.
In this podcast you will learn:
02:54 – How Eroom’s law dictates product development in the life sciences

06:35 – What data strategy challenges exist for personalized healthcare

10:25 – How to implement personalized healthcare in the wake of Eroom’s law
