The Case and Need for a Digital Health Ecosystem
Posted 6th December 2017 by Jane Williams
The current healthcare climate is on the brink of a long overdue makeover. The clinical research industry has been increasingly plagued by a resistance to change and is subsequently feeling the pain of this reluctance to modify its approach. Indicative of this trend are the rising prices of drug and medical device development, declining patient retention and adherence in clinical research, mounting administrative burdens, and exponentially growing expenses for clinical research that are unsustainable.
Big data, knowing and AI: do they influence drug discovery?
Posted 8th November 2017 by Jane Williams
The quest for magic bullets started with Paul Ehrlich. He wanted to target the syphilis bacteria without harming the patients, which led to Salvarsan. Ehrlich was a foundational thinker, and we owe him modern concepts such as receptor and pharmacophore. His impact on the field – seeking the ideal molecules – pervades drug discovery.
