How is tech shaping pharma packaging and drug delivery?
For a full rundown on tech trends driving the sector, catch these five sessions at Pharmapack 2022
Technological advancement is happening across the entire pharmaceutical supply chain, enabling companies to improve their products, increase efficiencies and ultimately create a better patient experience.
This is especially true when it comes to pharma packaging and drug delivery, two industries attempting to keep pace with the rapid speed of medical advances.
Connected drug delivery devices, apps and smart packaging are giving patients more autonomy than ever before and providing doctors with the real-time data they need to make treatment decisions. Advancements in AI are revolutionising manufacturing and packaging processes, while robotics remain essential for scale and efficiency.
Pharmapack 2022 is just around the corner, and this year’s event promises to showcase the most innovative technological solutions in the pharma packaging and drug delivery space. It returns this year as a SMART event, with online sessions and learning labs from May 9-27 and an in-person event in Paris, France on May 18 and 19.
For a full rundown on the tech trends driving the sector, don’t miss these five event features.
