This study introduces a framework to prioritize Artificial Intelligence (AI) initiatives in the life sciences sector. It helps professionals evaluate AI applications across the product lifecycle and operational domains for strategic decision-making.
Area of Science:
- Life Sciences
- Biotechnology
- Pharmaceuticals
Background:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption is rapidly increasing in the life sciences.
- Opportunities exist to improve biopharmaceutical research, development, and commercialization.
- The sector needs structured tools for prioritizing AI initiatives.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a framework for categorizing and evaluating potential AI applications in the life sciences.
- To organize AI use cases by product lifecycle phase and operational domain.
Main Methods:
- A structured mixed-methods approach was used.
- This included a modified Delphi consensus process with industry experts.
- Qualitative case study review and iterative framework refinement were also employed.
Main Results:
- A matrix framework was developed to assess AI opportunities across the product lifecycle (research, clinical development, commercialization, post-marketing).
- AI's pervasive impact, data-driven strategies, and regulatory/ethical challenges were highlighted.
- The framework aids in evaluating AI applications in biopharma.
Conclusions:
- The framework offers a practical model for strategic AI adoption in the life sciences.
- It supports decision-making for AI integration in biopharmaceutical companies.
- This work provides a foundation for future research and transformation efforts.
