Abstract
The convergence of technology and medicine has pushed healthcare to the brink of a major disruption that pharma has, until recently, been slow to recognize. Tech players have pioneered the emerging field of digital wellness and health, and pharma is ideally placed to use its expertise in drug development and embrace these technologies to create digital applications that address major medical needs. This review describes digital innovation from a pharma R&D perspective, outlining principal drivers, digital components, opportunities and challenges as well as a sustainable new business model predicated on empowered patients and achieving therapeutic outcomes.
