AI-led R&D Data Transformation: A Booster Shot for Life Sciences

Executive Summary

The Life Sciences sector faces significant challenges in managing vast, fragmented data from clinical trials. Major issues include data silos, high conversion costs, and regulatory compliance complexities. Artificial Intelligence-driven processes can automate data preparation, efficiently transforming raw data into standardized formats. A governed data warehouse and an analytics workbench can help organizations derive actionable insights swiftly. Infosys, through AI solutions, is enhancing R&D efficiency, enabling life sciences companies to make informed decisions for better patient outcomes.

Article

The Life Sciences industry generates an overwhelming volume of raw and fragmented data every day, especially in the domain of clinical trials. This data flows in from diverse sources such as trial results, electronic medical records, insurance claims, patient-reported outcomes, and payer information. While rich in potential, much of this data is initially unusable in its raw form.

Key Challenges

  • Data is siloed, messy, and lacks standardization
  • Converting it into a usable format is both costly and time-consuming
  • Ensuring data governance and regulatory compliance adds another layer of complexity
  • Only once the data is standardized and governed can meaningful, actionable insights be drawn

Where AI Steps in As a Driving Force

  • By deploying AI-driven ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes, organizations can automate and accelerate data preparation. AI tools can clean, map, and harmonize disparate datasets far faster than manual efforts
  • A fully governed data warehouse ensures that this standardized data is stored securely and remains compliant with stringent regulatory requirements
  • Layered on top of this infrastructure is an analytics workbench, an interactive platform that allows researchers to run complex analyses and extract real-time insights. With data-federation capabilities, AI also enables seamless integration of information across diverse systems and sources

Infosys in partnership with these AI-powered solutions streamlines the journey from raw data to regulated insight, helping R&D teams make faster, more informed decisions that ultimately improve patient outcomes.
