11:45 am – 12:30 pm | PANEL: “Digital Transformation of Life Sciences: The Imperative for an “Antifragile” Supply Chain”
The Finance industry and Hollywood proved to be more insulated against the apocalyptic devastation of the Coronavirus than Healthcare. This was partly due to their increased focus on digitalization. The potential for deploying digital solutions and emerging technologies reign supreme in life sciences, from drug development to manufacturing, distribution, marketing, dispensing, and patient care. In a patient-centric and demand-driven industry, which is rich in data, the pervasive challenges of integration, visibility, and data integrity are daunting and inhibit real ROI. The panelists will discuss the necessary ingredients and opportunities for digital transformation in life sciences that can lead to greater supply chain resiliency and agility, superior patient outcomes, and improved cost-effectiveness.

12:30 – 01:00 pm | “Virtual Audit of Manufacturers & Suppliers – Necessity is the Mother of Invention!”
Audits by Regulators and Your Clinical Customers: Now that many regulatory bodies and agencies have converted to virtual audits due to COVID-19, how do you prepare and execute virtual audits effectively and efficiently?
Audits of Your Key Clinical Material Suppliers: When access to your supplier’s facilities is limited or even not permitted, how can you assure yourself of the quality standards in operation to provide continuity of supply of medicinal products, whilst meeting regulatory requirements and protecting the patient? Virtual audits have emerged to respond to achieve compliance with the broad regulatory spectrum of GMP, GCP, GLP, GPV, GDPR, Med. Dev., CSV and DI requirements.
Real Life Examples: Two presentations will showcase how a network of international GMP experts, e-rooms and videoconferencing are utilized to enable virtual GMP auditing while meeting cGMP needs in commercial medical device operations.
