The challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic have forced the life sciences industry to come up with innovative solutions and processes to help speed up the delivery of safe and effective medicines. Technology has played a key role in this transformation, from solutions like eConsent and ePRO to Remote Clinical Trials and Patient Engagement Platforms becoming more widely used and acceptable to Regulatory Authorities, Pharma and Patients.
To explore these issues in more detail, Arora Digital are organising an event looking at how clinical trials have evolved and what are the opportunities in implementing AI/ML on 20 April from 10:00 – 11:30. You can find out more about the event and register here. If there are any questions or topics you would like to see covered as part of this even, please contact [email protected].
