AI in Healthcare & Pharma: From Breakthrough Technology to Better Patient Outcomes
Artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare and life sciences, from drug discovery and clinical development to patient support and real-world evidence. This presentation explores where AI is already creating value, the major opportunities for innovation and business growth, and the challenges that remain around trust, ethics, regulation, and adoption. Ultimately, success will be measured not by algorithms, but by meaningful improvements in patient outcomes.
