Enterprises seek specialized solutions, comprehensive strategies for using data to stay ahead of the market, ISG Provider Lens™ report says
STAMFORD, Conn.: #AI--Life sciences and healthcare enterprises are boosting investment in advanced analytics capabilities that are becoming increasingly critical for competitiveness, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.
The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ global Specialty Analytics Services — Life Sciences and Healthcare report finds that rapid improvements in AI, including generative AI (GenAI), promise to help companies better understand customer needs and make more informed decisions. Firms in these sectors are incrementally applying advanced analytics and AI to research, operations and product commercialization as part of far-reaching data modernization strategies.
“The unique challenges of life sciences and healthcare require more than standard, off-the-shelf analytics software,” said Jenn Stein, ISG partner and life sciences industry lead. “Specialty analytics providers empower these companies to implement custom-built advanced analytics solutions with confidence.”
A strong data foundation can give companies a comprehensive view of clinical and commercial data coming from both internal and external sources and make it available to non-technical employees, the report says. With advanced analytics, they can use this data to accelerate R&D, find hidden patterns, forecast trends and optimize responses to the market.
Life sciences firms are using modern analytics in a wide range of applications, including forecasting drug demand, monitoring supply chains and assessing medication benefits and risks, ISG says. AI is proving especially powerful for analyzing clinical data to identify potential drug targets, and large language models (LLMs) can help companies design and monitor clinical trials.
Healthcare providers are beginning to use AI tools to boost efficiency and deliver better care, among other applications, the report says. AI can help providers analyze medical records and other patient data to produce accurate diagnoses more quickly, better predict the course of a disease and shorten the time to treatment. GenAI solutions may streamline care delivery by extracting and summarizing clinical notes.
The report identifies several key advancements likely to shape the life sciences and healthcare industries in the coming years, including increased use of telehealth to improve patient outcomes and personalized precision medicine using data from wearables and other sources. Development of GenAI solutions is expected to continue, with specialty analytics providers already investing in LLMs trained on healthcare-specific datasets.
“Life sciences and healthcare companies continue to partner with specialist providers on AI and advanced analytics,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Providers with proven expertise in areas like GenAI, compliance and governance are making this future possible.”
The report also explores other life sciences and healthcare analytics trends, including the growing use of advanced analytics to personalize market outreach initiatives and detect abuse in claims processing.
