Big Data and Pharma Analytics
How Modern BI transforms the Pharmaceutical Industry
The pharmaceutical industry is increasingly relying on Modern BI to enhance its investments and make business processes more efficient. Among the various applications, Big Data and Pharma Analytics help increase patient safety, improve the efficiency of clinical trials, and increase sales performance. It’s on this last point of sales performance that we’d like to emphasize the application and functionalities of Pharma Analytics.
Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly demanding advanced Business Intelligence and analytics software. These tools make it possible to view and compare huge amounts of data (Big Data) and detailed analyses. There are numerous applications of Modern BI for the pharmaceutical sector.
Pharmaceutical representatives can now focus on geographical areas where patients with a high probability of needing a specific drug are located. The pharmaceutical companies can also save time and money by sending representatives to doctors who request a visit.

With the huge number of expired patents and the high cost of bringing a new drug to market, the industry needs to accelerate the process of discovering and developing new products. Being able to intelligently search vast data sets of patents, scientific publications, and clinical trials data should help accelerate this process. The application of predictive analysis to the search parameters helps, then, to understand which solutions can actually produce the best results.
Pharmaceutical companies must ensure the right mix of patients for their studies. Big Data can assist identifying the appropriate patients to participate in a trial (through analysis of demographic and historical data), remote patient monitoring, reviewing previous clinical trial events, and even helping to identify potential side effects before they become a reality.
The companies can collaborate to train their drug-discovery and machine-learning algorithms on their shared data. They can also use Big Data to collaborate with insurance companies, data management companies, and external scientists. The resulting network of knowledge and transversal skills has a strong impact on innovation and industry discoveries.
Pharmaceutical companies can build a dialogue with consumers through social media platforms and digital apps. This data flow connects patient follow-up, research, and development to the medical records of electronic doctors. In addition, apps provide companies with real-time monitoring of patient health and, consequently, with a direct analysis of product compliance.
