Overview

The progress made in electronics, sensor technology and data processing opened new fields in the healthcare world. This allows better control of manufacturing processes, the use of artificial intelligence tools for better and faster selection of data and it enables to directly connect patients and healthcare providers. It seems possible that the quality of each product container can be traced to the manufacturing process and with the knowledge of patient behavior a more patient & specific treatment will be possible.

The goal of this conference is to show:

  • How Primary packaging and fill-finish process can interact
  • Devices like pens, auto-injectors and wearables with electronic features
  • Current status of digital technologies in healthcare
  • Digital health applications for patients in hospital and home care
  • Advantages to the Patient

    P4: Panel Discussion: Future of Drug Delivery and Digitalization in Health Care in Asia
    In many Asian countries the patients still receive their injectables from healthcare professionals and the home care treatment does not yet play a significant role. But healthcare costs and improved patient care will lead to developments where patients receive user friendly application systems like autoinjectors, pens and wearables. In addition, concepts of microelectronics and digitalization in combination with the pharmaceutical product will be play a role. There will be opportunities to directly receive data from the patient and have a direct access to therapy and diagnostic data from the patient. The technologies by itself are there and the potential advantages for patient management and health care costs are given or at least can be estimated. This panel discussion wants to address the dynamic of this process and the implications on patient and healthcare system. What are the real advantages? What is the impact on the health care system? What will be the drivers? What will the situation be in 10-30 years from today?
