Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Pharmaceutical Industry.


In today’s situations, companies never fail to grab a single market opportunity to make the business processes better, smarter, and more efficient. Artificial intelligence has been playing a critical role in the pharmaceutical industry and consumer healthcare business. From augmented intelligence applications such as disease identification and diagnosis, helping identify patients for clinical trials, drug manufacturing, and predictive forecasting, these technologies have proven critical.

AI currently being applied in the pharmaceutical industry:

1.     Disease Identification/Diagnosis:

It can range from oncology to Covid to degeneration in the eyes. 

2.     Digital Therapeutics:

This can be effectively used to assist and identify individuals to provide early insight into the condition – such as gum condition, accurately classify cutaneous skin disorders suggest primary treatment options with Over-the-counter medication, and serve as an ancillary tool to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of clinicians, or improve educational and clinical decisions made by your child's teacher, or your mental health professional or even your medical doctor.

3.     Drug Discovery and Manufacturing: 

It helps in the initial screening of drug compounds to the predicted success rate based on biological factors. Measuring RNA, DNA quickly. Precision medicine or next-generation sequencing helps in the faster discovery of drugs and tailored medication for individual patients. 

4.     Predictive Forecasting:

Predicting an epidemic is one of the key examples of this topic. AI technologies are also, be applied to monitoring and predicting epidemic outbreaks or seasonal illnesses worldwide. A predictive forecast helps plan our supply chain to get the inventory at the right time and the right quantity based on the predicted intensity. 

5.     Clinical Trials:

Identifying the right candidate for the trial based on history and disease conditions, and additional attributes, overlaying with infection rates, demographics, and ethnicity to represent the most impacted.

6.     Betterment in Patient Care:

By keeping track of patients’ data and monitoring it while taking real-time decisions used to be difficult. With machine learning, managing huge amounts of data and finding possible treatments for different symptoms has become easier than ever.

7.     Revolution in Pharmaceutical R&D:

World’s reputed pharma companies are choosing machine learning to streamline the medicine discovery process. The machines that are skillful at recognizing patterns can look over massive information to solve the complicated biological networks.

8.     Better Accuracy in Epidemic Prediction:

AI used to monitor and forecast epidemic outbreaks throughout the globe, based on information accumulated from the web, social platforms, satellites, and other popular sources which predict the possible outbreaks of malaria, make people aware and encourage the healthcare providers to make better decisions faster and quicker.

Apart from the Healthcare conditions, we see many AI usage in Digital Transformation areas for Pharma and Healthcare companies such as Martech, AdTech, Supply Chain, Sales, and Customer Service.

Without the help of AI, medical information collection and processing can be slowed down, unavailability of data and medical records, costly and time-consuming drug discovery and R&D process, therefore, application AI with machine learning is highly necessary for making all the healthcare-related processes seamless, cost-effective, efficient, and hassle-free.

US-FDA has approved Eli Lilly and Company's new ultra rapid-acting insulin Lyumjev™ (Insulin lispro-aabc injection) for type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Image
  The US FDA granted approval to Eli Lilly’s Lyumjev™ (insulin lispro-aabc injection, 100 units/mL and 200 units/mL). This is a new rapid fast-acting insulin with a novel formulation to speed up the absorption of insulin into the blood stream and reduce glucose levels post meals, mimicking natural insulin’s post prandial action. Eli Lilly has another fast-acting insulin Humalog™ in the market. In comparative studies, Lyumjev™ has demonstrated faster absorption profile compared to Humalog™. The rapid insulin time-action profile can be attributed to two excipients in the formulation: microdose of treprostinil which increases absorption through vasodilation and sodium citrate which increases local vascular permeability. The approval of the drug was based on two phase 3 studies: PRONTO T1D and PRONTO T2D. In both studies Lyumjev™ demonstrated superior action compared to Humalog in preventing blood glucose spikes one and two hours after meal. Earlier this year, the product was approved ...

CORONAVIRUS: AIIMS Study Claims Delta Variant Is Highly Infectious Even for Those Who Are Vaccinated.

Image
As the number of coronavirus cases in the country subsides, government officials continue to encourage people to take their vaccine shots as soon as possible. While people are still sceptical and have their own reservations about vaccine efficacy, experts believe that it is the only possible way we can curb the impact of the pandemic. On the other hand, the growing number of variants has also become a cause of concern. The Delta Variant, which was originally detected in India in October last year, is said to be highly infectious. According to separate studies conducted by AIIMS (Delhi) and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), it was suggested that the Delta variant can escape antibodies from one or both the doses of Covidshield and Covaxin. 1)What is the Delta Variant? -The Delta variant, scientifically termed as B.1.617.2 of the COVID-19 infections, refers to the merging of two mutations of a virus strain that go on to form a third, super infectious strain. The B.1.617 vari...

Gas Leak at Maharashtra Chemical Factory, Residents Complain of Breathing Problems

Image
  The accident occurred at a factory called Nobel Intermediates Pvt in Shirgaon MIDC's Aptewadi area around 10:22 p.m.   A gas leak on Thursday night, from a chemical factory in Maharashtra's Badlapur, was reported, causing panic among the locals. Several residents within three kilometers complained about difficulty breathing and eye irritation.   A few people were admitted to local hospitals as a precaution. They were discharged after seeking medical assistance. The fire brigade hurried to the plant as soon as the incident was reported and controlled the situation. The leakage was stopped at about 11:24 p.m. The officials said that no casualties were reported.  According to the Thane Municipal Corporation, the incident occurred due to a chemical reaction caused by the overheating of sulfuric acid and benzyl acid. The police warned locals to stay indoors for a couple of hours.  The situation, according to officials, is under control now.
