Life science

Shorter product life cycles, shorter development cycles and shorter time-to-market processes all challenge the way pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies operate. Looking ahead, there are tough questions that need to be addressed, such as:

• What will end users in the future demand from your products and services?
• How will technological shifts change product development processes?
• How do you harness digital technologies in production lines and processing equipment?
• How do we as industry ensure data ethics and data security in a complex array of ecosystems?
• How can you meet and integrate the growing portfolio of regulation?
• How will green transition and the sustainability agenda affect the way your business develop?

We want to help you choose and leverage strategies and technologies that optimise your business and ensure future readiness.

See how we can help in the following areas:

Time to market is crucial to stay competitive — shortening R&D cycles, rapidly evolving technology, growing risk awareness, increased user involvement, and expanding end user requirements all contribute to the need for robust processes and smart use of technology, such as automation, simulations and virtual prototyping that can ensure fast launches of products that are a good market fit. And when it comes to connected devices, for example for remote monitoring of equipment and patients, and app-based solutions, cyber security is key.

• The road to greener medical devices
  Increased environmental focus will stimulate more regulatory requirements for medical products - something we as a manufacturer already should address.
• Simulation driven product and process development
  Save time and cost by implementing simulation studies in the design phase of products and process equipment.
• Cyber security screening of products
  How do you ensure that products with built-in software, fx medical devices, are adequately secure for their entire lifetime?
• Risk and safety management when developing medical devices
  Three key questions to help you manage risk and safety during development and launch of medical devices.
• IoT as driver for a digital health sector
  How can connected devices and sensors support and assist fx. hospital logistics and operations and monitor patients and critical equipment?
• Remote monitoring of patients in the healthcare sector
  Increased use of remote monitoring in the healthcare sector requires interoperability of healthcare data in the electronic platforms
• Life cycle assessment (LCA) of products and services 
  Make decisions about how to reduce energy consumption and climate impact, and reduce waste, with LCA.
• Case: Glostrup Hospital - technological innovation that respects the users' context
  How user involvement and ideation processes led to development of new technological solutions for fx. communication and automatic registration of patients and materials.

Knowledge about and monitoring and tracking of supply chains using fx. IoT can give new information to help optimising supply chains, as well as be the basis for new services and business models.

• Advanced real-time monitoring in supply chains
  How will we monitor and control our supply chains in the future?
