Key Findings:

  • "Examples of technologies at the trigger phase include generative AI for product life cycle and combinatorial AI in manufacturing.
  • Recent innovations summiting the peak include generative AI in life science, digital life science platform and end-to-end cell and gene therapy (CGT) systems.
  • Those at the peak will inevitably slide into the trough, before significant value will be realized. Examples include IoT-enabled laboratories, blockchain in life sciences and SaaS lab information management systems (Saas-LIMS).
  • Examples of technologies on the slope inclujde serialization and cloud-based quality management system (QMS) suites, pharma product life cycle management (PLM) and track-and-trace solutions.
  • Electronic batch records (EBRs) and process analytical technologies (PATs) are maturing technologies, situated on the plateau."
