Can you balance commercial and clinical excellence?
Case studies in process, investment, culture and governance
Offering the highest quality service and outcomes to a patient often means using the latest technology or drugs, which doesn’t always tally up with a business looking to contain costs and deliver within budget. In a system limited by resource balancing the delivery of quality and efficiency is where a lot of time is spent which can create friction between clinical and operational staff. But does that have to be the case? This case study-based session outlines multiple models where efficient process design, strong culture focus and new governance models leads to a balance of both clinical and commercial excellence. It explores how to achieve this balance, the investment and structural changes needed and how to deploy such models across different sectors and geographies.

The Disruptive Role Of AI & Real-World Evidence In Delivering 4P Medicine
The concept of 4P Medicine - Prevention, Prediction, Personalized, and Participatory - represents a significant shift towards personalized healthcare delivery, enabled by technological advances. Innovations in clinical trials and drug development have produced vast amounts of real-world evidence (RWE), showing lower costs and better outcomes. By leveraging AI and machine learning (ML), healthcare systems can use RWE to develop algorithms that identify diseases earlier, more accurately, and improve patient access to care. Predictive analytics enhance early disease detection and outcome forecasting, while personalized treatment plans and participatory medicine empower patients and improve engagement. Implementing this model requires collaboration among healthcare stakeholders, ethical data use, regulatory compliance, and strategies for scaling and sustainability. This session will explore practical steps and share insights from various stakeholders to achieve this transformative approach in healthcare.

From Lifespan To Health Span: Investing Along The Healthcare-Wellness Spectrum
Richer, older, sicker and more demanding populations are creating the need for healthcare products and services to be more specialised, more integrated, more outcome focussed, and more technology driven. These drivers have created an environment where companies pivot to address patients as consumers who are taking charge of their own health, which in turn has thrown up a grey zone for businesses of increased regulatory, payor and scientific risk. In response a new wave of business models and offerings have hit the market that attempt to bridge this healthcare-wellness divide. This data driven presentation takes a global view of the new businesses that are being built across the entire value chain and explains what this means for investment decisions and the future of healthcare delivery.
