Unlocking the Power of Data, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovations to Revolutionize Care for Rare Disease Patients

Rare diseases and developing and distributing the therapies that treat them create highly complex challenges for pharmaceutical manufacturers, and certainly for the patients and providers impacted by them every day. Because these diseases are often extremely difficult to diagnose and treat effectively, advancements toward alleviating the toll they take on patients’ lives are often few and far between.

However, the merging of healthcare and advancing technology, specifically Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), has given rise to a new sense of hope and progress in the rare disease community.

AI and ML have the ability to analyze extensive amounts of real-world data and uncover previously unknown patterns and insights to inform groundbreaking research, resulting in expansive improvements in diagnosis and overall care in the rare disease field.

In this latest article from Maria Kirsch, Scott Snyder, Faruk Abdullah and Pierantonio Russo, discover how these advancements in AI and ML, in conjunction with dedicated individuals committed to bettering the lives of patients, are redefining how the industry approaches the complexities of rare diseases while enhancing the patient journey for millions.
