In this episode, Savyon Amit shares how AstraZeneca came to an aligned understanding of Digital Health, with specific and distinct digital health objectives while also being unified and complementary across the R&D and commercial functions. Savyon and Tom also discuss the importance of articulating the value of digital from an organizational standpoint as well as value to the broader healthcare ecosystem.
Tom Lehmann talks with Stephen Davies, Vice President, Enterprise Information Technology about Eisai’s human health care philosophy. It’s guiding innovation, shaping digital transformation and encouraging a holistic health care view by leveraging technology beyond traditional therapeutics.
In this episode Venkat Sethuraman, SVP Global Biometrics and Data Science, Bristol Myers Squibb talks with Tom Lehmann about the critical role of data, design and digital in the future vision for R&D.
Venkat discusses what BMS calls “3D for R&D” and describes how data, design and digital is creating value with patients and stakeholders. 3D for R&D begins with the opportunity for innovation created by the availability and accessibility of data in advancing drug development. Design involves how to use data to better design efficient studies and accelerate our clinical programs, and the third element, digital, is powered by insights and feedback from patients and investigators.
Host Tom Lehmann talks with Craig Lipset, a long-time advocate and inspiring innovator in the clinical research and medicine development community. Drawing on his role as co-convenor of the Decentralized Trials and Research Alliance (DTRA), a collaboration of over 120 member organizations, Craig discusses DTRA’s ambitions and priorities for bringing greater accessibility to clinical trials and making decentralized clinical research methods the standard for the industry.
Our Technology Vision 2021 for Life Sciences revealed that leaders don’t sit back and wait for the “new normal”. They build it themselves. Big changes today require bold, innovative leadership that prioritizes technology.
Each of the five trends (Stack Strategically; Mirrored World; I, Technologist; Anywhere Everywhere and From Me to We) are rooted in the disruptions and demands caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that set a high bar for life sciences companies—with many meeting or exceeding expectations.
In this series of short episodes, I’ll talk with five Accenture Life Sciences leaders who helped shape our industry perspective of the Tech Vision to inspire life sciences companies to embrace a new mindset to shape a better future. Their thinking is backed by a survey of 100 biopharma business and IT executives across seven countries that helped identify the key issues and priorities for technology adoption and investment.

In this episode our podcast host Tom Lehmann talks health and patient care innovation with Tina Ripperger and Jennifer Spada. This episode focuses on the healthcare disruption we all faced in 2020-21 and the role digital is playing to connect and engage with patients.
They discuss the historic 2020 reset that forced the need for patients to adopt new ways of managing their health and findings from a recent patient services survey Accenture led that gained insights on new trends in care from 12,000 patients around the world.
The three take on how the health experiences have been forever revolutionized and discuss how some of the most successful companies are leading the way to lasting changes that positively impact patient health.
In this episode Accenture’s Tom Lehmann talks with Guido Radack, Bayer. They discuss Guido’s IT and business experience and his role in helping to shape and drive Bayer's digital strategy for clinical development.
The discussion focuses on Guido’s most recent role in clinical innovation and examines technology investment, decentralized trials, COVID’s role as a catalyst for business change, and digital technologies being a piece of the solution to business challenges.
In this episode Accenture’s Tom Lehmann talks with Kailash Swarna, Ph.D, MBA, Novo Nordisk. They discuss Kailash’s role in applying a digital transformation mindset to increase patient impact and improve the lives of people with diabetes and metabolic diseases.
The discussion candidly takes on strategy and stakeholders, the pace of technology and science, the dimensions of patient centricity, making value tangible, and future vision.
In this episode we talk about an industry research study that Accenture conducted on the state of digitalization within Biopharma R&D and compare that to findings of our prior study in 2016. We focus on gathering a view of the progress the industry has made over the past few years and we look at this progress considering the influence and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the substantial investments from global tech giants in artificial intelligence, data and analytics, and other technologies to reshape traditional product development models and the delivery of patient care.
