To bring a new drug to market, it can cost over $2B. Many industry experts see a need to transform the way clinical trials are conceived, designed and conducted to battle declining ROI. The solution: RPA. As one of the world’s largest Contract Research Organizations—handling every aspect of the drug and device development process for pharmaceutical and medical device clients—ICON plc has been introducing digital automation into the drug development process for several years to increase efficiency and reduce time and costs.
COVID-19 testing protocol requires a patient to be registered and test kits correctly labeled for collection and reporting. Conducting these processes manually—and remotely, due to social distancing—contributes to the average 6-hour wait for testing. The Cleveland Clinic, one of the largest hospitals in the U.S., set up and deployed an attended robot in 48 hours that handles these processes in 14-16 seconds.

More than 24,000 people responded after a national call to action was sent out to all those with health service experience, but before they can go to work they must complete two different vetting processes, typically done manually. The solution? An RPA robot-enabled solution that completes the processes 10x faster than a human.
