Key takeaways from Pharma & Digital Health Partnerships in Q3: 🎇See summary visual below ⚕️Pharma is gradually moving toward wellness, primarily by focusing on earlier diagnosis and remote patient monitoring (RPM) to prevent worsening of existing conditions, rather than on prevention. The notable exception is Bayer & Hurdle’s focus on healthy aging, although it’s driven by Bayer's consumer division - so if prevention fails, then pharma can always step in 🏠RPM is an increasing focus: 🔘Roche and Respiree integrate AI in RPM to monitor vital signs and predict clinical deterioration, allowing timely intervention and better outcomes. 🔘Astellas Pharma’s DIGITIVA™ for heart failure combines Eko Health’s digital stethoscope and clinical monitoring to reduce hospitalizations 🔬Clinical trials are becoming more streamlined and data-driven: 🔘AstraZeneca and Immunai are using AI to enhance cancer drug trials. 🔘Eisai US and Medidata Solutions are partnering to streamline clinical trial management with an AI-driven platform 🔘Takeda has expanded its collaboration with Tempus AI to leverage real-world data for oncology to accelerate drug development 🩻AI is powering diagnostics and personalized medicine: 🔘Bayer’s partnerships with Alara Imaging and Rad AI are advancing radiology workflows. 🔘Roche’s navify® platform integrates 20 AI partnerships in digital pathology, supporting personalized treatments through enhanced diagnostics 💊Treatment discovery is evolving with a variety of advanced technologies: 🔘Eli Lilly and Company and Genetic Leap are using AI to develop genetic medicines targeting RNA 🔘Orion Pharma Ltd and Aitia are leveraging Gemini Digital Twins to identify disease mechanisms and drug targets. 🔘BioNTech SE and Triastek, Inc. are innovating 3D-printed oral RNA therapeutics to optimize drug delivery and absorption ⚠️If you want a hi-res copy of the infographic below, with interactive links to the key partnership news stories, please request in comments - note I shared this last week so if you have already requested no requirement to comment again (I am hoping to share with you this week) #DigitalHealth #AI #Pharma

It's time we raise the bar for patient care ✨ As part of our commitment to providing the best possible service for our patients, we carefully select our clinic and lab partners based on a range of qualifications. This ensures that we maintain the highest clinical quality standards across the board. All our lab partners hold UKAS and ISO 15189 accreditations, ensuring that every result is accurate and reliable. Our clinic network offers flexible opening hours and a comfortable, modern environment. Each clinic is CQC registered and staffed with qualified professionals, providing private areas for blood draws. Many of our partners also offer additional services, positioning us to expand beyond phlebotomy in the future. To ensure a seamless patient experience, we conduct thorough onboarding and integration processes with each clinic and lab partner. This includes detailed end-to-end testing of the patient journey, starting with data and followed by volunteer feedback before launch. By doing this, we can identify and resolve potential challenges before they affect our patients. One of the features we’re proud to offer is a kit-free experience. Patients simply book an appointment, attend their session, and receive their results electronically—making the process as simple and straightforward as possible. Looking ahead, we’re working to expand our network geographically, with the goal of offering these services nationwide. #HealthcareStandards #PatientExperience #QualityCare #ClinicalAccreditation #PhlebotomyServices #HealthcareInnovation

As the demand for testing grows, more companies are choosing to operate across multiple laboratories to ensure business continuity, cost efficiency, and performance improvements. However, managing multiple labs can be a complex task—ranging from integration issues and inconsistent data formats to managing contracts and balancing commercial constraints. We are designing to help streamline this process. Key ways we simplify multi-lab operations: 1️⃣ One partner, one contract: We consolidate lab relationships to simplify administration and ensure pricing consistency. 2️⃣ Automated routing and continuity: Our system automates the process of directing samples to the right lab, ensuring smooth operations even in the face of disruptions. 3️⃣ Standardized data: We ensure that all lab results are harmonized, making them easier to interpret and integrate into your workflow. 4️⃣ Centralised tracking and notifications: Track your tests and results seamlessly, with standardised updates across labs. 5️⃣ Lab quality assurance: Our rigorous 16-point lab checks help maintain accuracy and reduce delays. For organizations looking to scale their testing programs without the headaches of multi-lab management, Hurdle offers a solution that allows you to focus on your core objectives while we handle the complexities in the background. #Diagnostics #LabOperations #HealthcareTech #Efficiency #daas
