This first-of-two volume release from prolific author Tim Sandle fills an important void by taking an in-depth look at the way digital technologies are impacting the pharmaceutical and healthcare landscape both now and into the future. He explores how companies have been embracing digital technologies as part of the transformation of their business models.
The disruption caused by the digital transformation of pharmaceuticals and healthcare is not static; it is evolving, and it will continue to evolve. Across the informative and substantive chapters, this book takes stock of the current technological landscape, where it is likely to develop, and the challenges that adopters face, in terms of practicalities and in maintaining GMP compliance. It explores what each technology does, the potential use of the technology, and the practical aspects for its implementation.
Yet, digital transformation is not just about technology. The process also concerns changes to culture and structure, the understanding of which is presented in this book and is critical for those working in the pharmaceutical sector.
The themes covered in this first volume are process-centric and include blockchain and track and trace technology, fostering the digital pharmaceutical company, and building efficiencies through real-time metrics and Process Analytical Technology. The second volume will address the digitization of the laboratory and a survey of data handling issues.
Regulatory aspects and standards are addressed throughout each of the two volumes.
Digital transformation has been taking place and is now taking place at an accelerating pace. With this book, you will develop an understanding of what is (and has been) happening and why.
