Ep. 1 | Getting Started with AI for Life Sciences
In Episode 1 of Life Sciences Fusion, host Bryan Hill consults with Cognizant’s Director of Life Sciences, Dirk Ilius, on how to integrate AI into a life sciences organization’s CRM. Connecting data, teams, and workflows with AI can generate invaluable insights, and while there likely will be short-term disruption, the result is long-term gains. Dirk advises using your CRM’s out-of-the-box AI tools to start. This not only reduces complexity for IT and development teams, but also drives faster adoption by making AI easier for users to access and apply. Remember that ROI—while important—is a lagging indicator, reflecting the financial outcome of a system, but not capturing the behaviors, interventions, or operational changes that actually drove that result. Life Sciences Fusion is a Cognizant podcast about what’s next in life sciences –– and how life sciences leaders are turning breakthrough science, digital innovation and operational change into measurable impact. Each episode delivers pragmatic conversations with industry peers, partners and Cognizant thought leaders on the decisions, technologies and operating shifts shaping the future of science and health. Clear perspective. Real-world insight. No hype. Join us for the latest ideas driving the life sciences industry forward.
