Integrating Bioinformatics, Medical Science and Drug Discovery

By | Blog

Healthcare in the 21st century faces a unique set of challenges such as rising healthcare costs, analytical research, productivity in curative discovery and development. Reducing costs with the time required for steps in the drug discovery pipeline is crucial to deliver better drugs promptly. Succeeding these odds bioinformatics industry has turned to computational approaches to overcome the traditional development in drug discovery and medical science. The use of biomarkers in drug development has shifted the trend toward more quantitative, evidence-based drug development integrating bioinformatics, medical science and drug discovery.

Integrating Bioinformatics, Medical Science and Drug Discovery promises to equip researchers with tools and resources for efficient capture and analyze the structure of medicine while allowing medical field and doctor’s access to evidence-based insights for efficient patient care. Here we highlight some of the areas individually in which bioinformatics resources and methods are being developed to support the drug discovery pipeline.

  • Bioinformatics
    Bioinformatics now is integrated with computer science which is now emerging as a crucial element with a standard shift in modern biology and biomedical research to use the computers, software tools and computational models for accurate and precise discovery. Bioinformatics deals with the exponential growth in biological data have led to the development databases available as publicly across the world. Bioinformatics plays a vital role in the integration of broad disciplines of biology and aids how biomedical investigators use the information in their testing. The complete process of data collection to analysis of the results of such tests is also known as Clinical Informatics.
  • Informatics and Medical Sciences
    It is a known fact that most of the doctors are opposed to computers. To overcome this problem one of the solutions proposed is to introducing Palmtops personally customized for physicians that fit easily into the pocket of a lab coat, helping the doctor to feed in the medical data sequentially. This leads to addressing the basic need of any medical analysis, data capture creating Electronic Medical Records (EMR) eventually, developing a database for reference and analysis and routine clinical record in the form of charts or specialized datasheets. This concept drastically reduces the possibilities of manual errors due to frustration and other emotional disorders. Shortly the complete information of the patient can be accessed from the EMR ranging from drug trial data, tests performed with accurate outcomes and research analysis.
  • Bioinformatics and Drug Discovery
    Nowadays infectious diseases are the world’s biggest killers. WHO states that “there occur more than 13 million deaths a year in a developing country due unavailability of efficient drugs and availability leading to the high cost”. The major problems faced by mankind are the discovery and development of cheap and efficient drugs. Rational Drug Design using Bioinformatics is a one-step solution to this problem to end the trial and error process of drug discovery to rational structure-based drug design with reduced time and cost. Taking into account all factors we have to develop an effective structure of drugs with potential targets identifying current scenario.
  • Need for Integration
    Rapid advances in the field of computers coupled with increasing technology favor the implementation of computer applications in medical science and bioinformatics. Added, the availability of large databases on the internet has revolutionized the way a doctor addresses a strategy for treatment. Human Proteomics Initiative is a classic example, showing the necessity of integrating Bioinformatics to predict structures and functions of proteins. Medical science to identify proteins in metabolic or other disorders. And drug discovery to identify novel drugs against the predicted targets.

Thus all three areas must work in synchronization to achieve the ultimate goal of the precise drug development process and apply it for the betterment of human lives with the early characterization of a drug that can make the next blockbuster.

Health Care of Tomorrow, Today: How Artificial Intelligence is Fighting the Current, and Future COVID-19 Pandemic

By | Blog

Consider the recent COVID 19 pandemic, that has caused the world to come at a halt in itself and continues. Countries across the globe are assembling all their resources and are deploying cutting-edge technologies to fight against the effects of COVID-19. During such unprecedented times, healthcare technologies have pushed themselves for agile innovation and have increased the volume of services. It is well said that ‘Amid every crisis, lies a great opportunity’; the deadly crisis has not only opened up new vistas of opportunities for the technology but has also given rise to Artificial Intelligence in particular. AI minimizes the need for human interaction which is the optimal way to prevent its spread in the community. AI is demonstrating its capabilities through diagnosing risks and assisting in medical advancements to tackle the pandemic.

Communities of peoples join the battle to fight for their lives against the pandemic. AI and technology are leveraging their tools and solutions to help in combating the crisis and assist in prediction, notifications, data dashboards, social control, and medical diagnosis & therapy to make accurate decisions quickly. Artificial Intelligence has lowered the burden by automating the processes, organizing tons data, and creating automatic clinical notes which resulted in the enhanced ability of doctors to focus on treating an increased number of patients.

Wearable, such as smart suits which researchers have designed, can observe human body parameters and alerts them when body temperature goes beyond normal one. Biometrics that measures respiration patterns, cardiac diagnosis and other human activities provide statistics for the doctors to minimizing visits to infected patients. Hospitals across the world have implemented AI to support medical professionals and their staff to treat infected patients and effectively monitor and manage the COVID-19 pandemic. Such real-time data for remote monitoring creates a unique dataset to understand the disease progression and develop predictive measures. Such a platform would offer a chance for researchers and companies to get ahead of the disease and develop more effective treatment plans and vaccine quickly.
