In this comprehensive episode, I explore the rapidly evolving landscape of pharmaceutical R&D with industry experts who share invaluable insights on digital therapeutics, clinical trials, and AI integration. We begin by examining the groundbreaking Composite Digital Therapeutic Index (CDTI), a framework that brings objective evaluation to digital therapeutics through multiple domains. The discussion then shifts to innovative approaches in clinical trials, including community-based models and virtual simulations that are reshaping traditional methodologies. We dive deep into AI applications, from automated clinical note extraction to virtual hospital environments, and explore how these technologies are transforming data quality and trial efficiency. Finally, we examine the broader implications for digital health, particularly in areas like women's health and patient empowerment. This episode is essential listening for R&D executives, clinical development leaders, and anyone involved in pharmaceutical innovation and digital health transformation.
