In conversation with Harjot Singh, President, PharmaACE

Today, pharma and life sciences industry is among the fastest-growing IT markets. Give us a succinct idea of how PharmaACE is positioned in this domain and your expertise in IT.
PharmaACE’s value proposition has always been a juxtaposition of in-depth pharma business/ domain knowledge and technical proficiency. It thereby takes 1/3rd of the usual time to do requirement gathering while engaging a client. Further, our consulting offerings like forecasting, business intelligence and data analytics are enhanced with our business intelligence app, customized forecasting platforms and data analytic solutions.

industry which PharmaACE could efficiently fill?
With the advent of advanced analytics and machine learning, large chunks of data are processed in a multitude of ways to generate and process multiple insights. At PharmaACE the intrinsic knowledge of various disease areas enables us to generate insights that go the extra mile in terms of answering critical business questions and impact.

We have been consolidating and integrating multiple data points to potentially predict patient prognosis. This enables the client to alert medical services in time, adjust dose and therapy at the level of each individual patient. This has the potential to revolutionize a treatment landscape that has thus far remained reactive.

Having served in this industry with such finnese, please narrate one significant success story.
One of our recent implementations involves the development of a predictive analytics framework leveraging machine learning and patient level data. The company wishes to predict patient progression based on patient longitudinal treatment history and then tie it back to physicians and their prescribing patterns. The predictive model worked as a powerful tool to design and customize physician-level promotion and make the entire business promotion cost-effective and targeted.
