Challenge

The life sciences industry suffers from several complex drug accountability challenges. A few of them include: 

• Manual & error-prone supply activities

• Limited real-time insight in medication intake

• Complex and non-intuitive medication instructions 

• High supply waste due to manual, study-specific labeling 

The industry, therefore, is looking for an automated solution that can improve supplies efficiency and eliminate guesswork from medication management.
