Track 3: Data, Technology and AI
This track focuses on harnessing the power of data, technology, and AI to transform drug development, regulatory decision-making, and patient access to therapies. Sessions explore innovations in data capture, curation, integration, and novel methods of evidence generation across the product lifecycle, from clinical trials to post-market settings, while addressing emerging challenges in governance, transparency, risk management, oversight, equity, and responsible use of clinical technologies, including digital health technologies and AI. While Track 10 addresses the frameworks and analytical strategies that transform those data into actionable evidence, this track focuses on the generation, curation, integration, and operational enablement of data. This track also highlights the role of real-world evidence, policy-driven data innovation, and AI-enabled insights to accelerate development, enhance regulatory submissions, and inform healthcare decision-making globally.
