Medicine, Pharmaceutical & Health Industries
The fourth industrial revolution, with the impact of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and digital technologies in all industries, has brought about major changes in the pharmaceutical world. This revolution has caused a change in the process of research and development of drugs, production of drugs, distribution and provision of health services and has created a wide impact in this industry. This revolution in pharmaceuticals is also known as Pharma 4.0. The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing various industries, including the medical industry. By connecting medical devices, gadgets and sensors to the Internet, a huge amount of patient data can be collected and analyzed. This, in turn, offers new opportunities for better, more efficient, and more affordable care to medical centers, patients, and doctors, and can greatly help increase productivity. Medical Internet of Things (IoMT) is a term that refers to the use of IoT devices in healthcare.
Using digital technologies, researchers can create advanced models to simulate the action of different drugs. These simulations allow them to test different changes in drug combinations and achieve better drugs. Because the research process is done digitally, information can be provided to the relevant quality and regulatory inspectors more quickly, and approval times are reduced without the need to manually transfer documents and samples. According to these effects, it can be said that the fourth industrial revolution in the pharmaceutical research and development sector has led to the improvement of the development process of drugs, reducing costs, and increasing the quality and effectiveness of drugs. These changes benefit all societies and public health and show the endless importance of this revolution in the pharmaceutical industry.
