AI : The cure the pharmaceutical industry has been waiting for - ET HealthWorld

By Subhro Mallik Vice President, Life Sciences Infosys Today, the pharmaceutical and life science industry leads in AI adoption, according to a research, Amplifying Human Potential – Towards Purposeful AI, conducted by Infosys. However, this leadership position was not gained overnight. It was earned over several years, in which this sector has adopted AI to conduct clinical trials, perform drug analysis and fast-track product launches. Besides improving process and operations efficiency, AI is playing a very crucial role – as a life saver. Take for instance AI applied to identify skin blotches that could be a melanoma. By augmenting doctors' and radiologists' capabilities, it is detecting melanomas early and increasing survival rates by as much as 98%.
