Future of Clinical Research


How Agentic AI is transforming life sciences discovery and operations
The numbers are in, and they spell change for life sciences.
That’s because nearly three-quarters (73%) of global pharmaceutical organizations are actively planning, piloting, or deploying agentic AI initiatives.
This widespread means agentic AI is no longer a futuristic concept, but a present-day imperative for staying competitive and delivering life-changing medicines faster.
For those not yet in the know, agentic AI is a sophisticated form of AI designed not just to analyze data, but to act autonomously, plan, reason, and execute complex, multi-step tasks. This goes far beyond traditional automation. Instead, agentic AI is about creating intelligent systems that can drive innovation, accelerate drug development, and optimize operations like never before.
So, which companies are leading the charge, and how exactly are these intelligent agents reshaping the pharma landscape? Let's dive into the specifics.


Back to basics: How hybrid and decentralized technologies impact each phase of the clinical research journey
Clinical trials require volunteers to assess medical products like devices, vaccines, or medications for efficacy and safety. For health equity to be achieved, it’s imperative that clinical trials include people from diverse backgrounds so as to represent the global population of patients using the products.


2023: The year of the site. We are listening.
As 2022 rounds the bend, the life science industry is at a critical juncture in the adoption of the decentralized clinical trial (DCT) model.


Report: Medable named #1 Leader in DCT for second year by Everest Group
For the second consecutive year, Medable has been named Leader decentralized clinical trial products per the Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix® assessment, which evaluates DCT products from 24 companies based on vision, capability and market impact.


DCT takes center stage at DIA 2022 with new Tufts CSDD Study
DIA 2022 provided four days worth of content spanning over 13 talk tracks and hundreds of speakers with three major takeaways.
