INNOVATIONS AND PHARMA


Pharmacology is an innovative field of biochemistry, chemistry, physiology, health sciences, clinical medicine, and engineering. Some of the digital health innovations that are about to have an impact on the pharma industry are as follows,

Artificial intelligence

Computers with learning capabilities are able to understand and explain a million pages of scientific literature and data to aid pharmaceutical companies in developing new drugs and repurposing the existing ones. Watson demonstrated the ability to find formerly unknown links between diseases and as it continues to learn, it can alter its proposal based on recent information.



Precision medicine

Precision medicine is an approach that combines clinical and molecular information to comprehend the biological foundation of disease. This information can be acquired by converting DNA into data through a process called genome sequencing. Researchers can utilize this data to identify the specific genetic disorder or biological marker, to get to know which types of patients a drug will be most potent for, and also who is probable to experience the acute undesirable effect of a drug. This can help in the growth of new targeted therapies and repurposing of existing drugs.

To know more about recent innovations and advancements in Pharmaceutical field take part in Gulf Congress on Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences to be held in the Abu Dhabi, UAE during September 17-18, 2018.
