How AI is Used For Clinical Drug Development

The below blog is a transcript of James Cai, Head of Data Science at Roche Innovation Centre, presenting on the application of AI in the clinical development of drugs, a topic which is extremely prevalent in the current environment. AI is transforming many industries including healthcare and pharma. Where are the opportunities for AI in the early clinical development of new drugs, where scientific hypotheses first meet real patients in clinical trials? Can AI generate new insights to inform translational research or improve the efficiency of clinical trials? In this talk, I will highlight opportunities created by big data and AI, e.g., digital biomarkers for neurological diseases, and share my thoughts on what it will take to operationalize AI in drug development.
