The company added that professional services from this partnership will provide life science companies with technology and expertise required to conduct trials that are becoming complex due to big data, artificial intelligence (AI) and focus on targeted therapies.

Cognizant senior vice-president and life sciences global head Bhaskar Sambasivan said: “Most life science companies have stitched together multiple legacy solutions and are in dire need for a clinical refresh.

“This partnership allows us to offer and manage the most comprehensive platform and suite of services for our clients so that they can focus on the science rather than operational complexities.”
