May-23, The Future of Trust in Healthcare and Life Sciences
This IDC Perspective analyzes IDC's Future of Trust Framework and identifies the top priorities for the selection of cloud providers, based on IDC's Trust Perception Index. It predicts the future of trust in the healthcare and the life science industries, the growing importance of zero trust frameworks, and sustainability strategies to build trust.
"The COVID-19 pandemic brought in a renewed focus on sustainability and on diversity, on the need to collaborate to innovate, on the need to collect patient data, but also to give back, on the need to drive 'care anywhere' solutions. For the healthcare and life science industries, trust is everything. Patients trust these industries with their data and with their lives, and these industries need to live up to that. It is not about posturing; it is about establishing the right cyberposture, about executing sustainability strategies, and about implementing the right governance models and building an intelligent and a socially responsible enterprise. This enterprise needs to be built on an ecosystem of trust, based on the foundation of a 'zero trust' policy," said Dr. Nimita Limaye, research VP, Life Sciences R&D Strategy and Technology at IDC.
"Healthcare and life sciences are undergoing a crisis of trust — patients and the public are wary of the security of their patient health information and the ethical use and treatment of that health information. As healthcare organizations move toward and refine their digital solutions for the management of healthcare data, strong security, privacy, compliance, and environmental and social governance approaches are non-optional in the maintenance of patient trust," said Dr. Grace Trinidad, research director, IDC's Future of Trust.

May-23, Impact of Generative AI on the Healthcare and Life Science Industries
This IDC Survey Spotlight examines the impact of generative AI (GAI) on the healthcare and life science (HLS) industries. The life science and healthcare industries are both investing in GAI. This is the beginning of the journey, but as the right use cases get identified, with knowledge management taking the lead, one can expect the deployment of GAI to scale rapidly. As both the industries deal with patients' lives and patient data, it is critical to tread cautiously and ensure that the necessary guardrails are implemented:
- Software development and design has taken the front seat across the HLS industries as the most impacted business for GAI. This is driven by the fact that the industries definitely see the potential of GAI and will invest in building capabilities in GAI.
- A third of the life sciences industry believed that product development and design would be the most impacted business area, while one-fourth prioritized customer engagement. This would be driven by the focus of life sciences on R&D and innovation.
- Customer engagement and marketing, as well as supply chain, were given significantly higher priority by the healthcare industry.
- This survey has demonstrated that there is a clear interest in the use of AI in the life science industry, with 35% of the industry already investing in generative AI and one-fourth exploring potential use cases. Yet these are early days with a third of the industry not having taken any action as yet in this regard. A fairly similar distribution is seen in the case of the healthcare industry as well.
- Notably, the most promising use case for GAI across HLS was knowledge management. This was closely followed by code generation applications and design applications in the life science industry. However, once again, marketing came second in the case of the healthcare industry, followed by design applications.

Apr-23, Future of Industry Ecosystems — Life Sciences
This IDC Survey highlights the key findings of IDC's Future of Industry Ecosystems Survey. In May and June 2022, we fielded our second annual global survey to 1,270 executives across 5 regions and 11 countries. The goal was to determine executive and business leader sentiment on industry ecosystems, maturity of current approach, and future plans for IT and use case investment. Respondents spanned multiple domains including CXO, business line leadership, and IT management. Key findings from the survey include:
- Mitigating demand fluctuations and supply chain constraint while pursuing environmental sustainability goals is a key joint initiative for industry ecosystem partners.
- Cybersecurity and IP protection are the top barriers to ecosystem participation, making them the top IT investments by ecosystem players.
- The business leadership plays a key role in designing the industry ecosystem in the life science industry compared with the company's executive team playing a decisive role in other industries. Most organizations plan to, as they did last year, expand their industry ecosystems beyond their core industries.
- Data sharing is more prevalent in the life science industry than in most other industries, driven by the need to collaborate to accelerate innovation.
- Service providers will play a key role in the design and enablement of industry ecosystems.
Another key area of focus for organizations when they consider the design and operation of their industry ecosystem is improvement of customer, consumer, citizen, or patient engagement and experience. That is, how does the shared, open approach of industry ecosystems (shared data and insights, shared applications, and shared operations and expertise) better facilitate this?
This IDC survey report on the future of industry ecosystems is focused on the life sciences cut of this survey data. Organizations in this sector recognize the opportunity for ecosystems to support the multiple ongoing challenges and initiatives, such as:
- Empowering constant, collaborative, and open innovation that results in enhanced R&D
- Enabling environmentally sustainable practices within R&D, supply chain, and production, across a varied set of ecosystem participants
- Ensuring trusted, secure collaboration and mutually beneficial business models across the industry ecosystem
IDC's Future of Industry Ecosystems Survey provides a view into how life science organizations are currently and planning to work with their ecosystem partners on these and other initiatives.

Mar-23, Key Factors Impacting Life Sciences Tech Strategies and Budgets for 2023 — Risk and Implications
This IDC Survey Spotlight examines key factors impacting life sciences' tech strategies and budgets for 2023. The life science industry has undergone disruptive digital transformation over the past two years, enabling it to sustain and overcome the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Technology partners have played a critical role in facilitating this. While two-thirds of the life science industry forecasts a moderate impact of the recession in 2023 lasting for more than a year, its top-most concern is regarding geopolitical turmoil driving changes in its tech providers. In addition:
- Two-thirds of the life science industry and half of the healthcare industry agreed that they wanted to reduce the "run" part of the IT budget to fund new "build" initiatives/projects in 2023.
- 40% of the healthcare industry and a third of the life science industry have changed their IT budget planning cycle to monthly to make adjustments throughout 2023. This is reflective of the need to carefully monitor the evolving landscape and to respond with speed and agility.
- While 45% of the life science industry and 50% of the healthcare industry saw no change in overall IT spending in 2023 as compared with 2022, about 42% of both healthcare and life sciences saw a reduction in specific IT budget items in 2023.
- The business process automation platform provider moved up from the third position in 2022 to the second position in 2023 as the most strategic technology partner for the life science industry, after the primary cloud provider. This is reflective of the need to drive efficiencies and address labor shortages through business automation.
- The primary consulting partner followed as a close third. This speaks to the critical importance of consulting partners, especially in this time of flux. Hence 27% of the industry saw a 5-10% increase in spend in 2023 as compared with 2022 on business consulting services. 20% saw more than a 10% increase in spend on IT consulting services.
- As the life science industry is moving rapidly toward the adoption of hybrid, multicloud strategies, 24% of the life science industry plans to increase its spend on hybrid/cross-cloud services by more than 10% in 2023 as compared with 2022.
- With the increasing focus on deriving intelligent insights from data by leveraging artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), one sees a 32% increase in spend on AI/ML in 2023 by the life science industry.
- Approximately 10% of the life science industry plans on a more than 10% reduction in general-purpose compute instances and special-purpose compute platforms; general-purpose storage systems, enterprise network equipment, PaaS data services, and application platforms; and devices in 2023.
- Application modernization and cloud migration services remain a priority with 64% increasing spend on the same by up to 10% in 2023.

Deep Dive: Artificial Intelligence for Payer Use Cases

Jan-23, Deep Dive: Artificial Intelligence for Payer Use Cases
This IDC Perspective takes a deep dive into artificial intelligence for payer use cases. In the past decade, health insurance companies have been looking to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to identify at-risk individuals and reduce rising costs in the healthcare sphere.
It's important to note that a majority of the price consumers pay when enrolling in health insurance goes into risk prediction and risk management. By using AI to create a system that can create more accurate risk models and predict which individuals need specific types of care, health insurance providers can spend more money on their beneficiaries and less on those processes. Platforms that can take in, study, and learn from data; refine judgments; and generate intelligent insight can also greatly reduce the need for expensive human data analysts.
When AI is injected into ways of working across the payer workforce, employees can be liberated from more tactical and mundane work. They can be redirected to more strategic tasks, tapping into previously unavailable internal and external data for more insight-driven ways of working. This can translate into new products and services that improve service and member health while supporting new growth strategies for the business.
"The use of AI in health insurance is quickly driving improvements and changing the relationship between payers, providers, and members. It helps enhance and streamline the member/patient experience and make internal operations easier," says Jeff Rivkin, research director, Payer IT Strategies at IDC Health Insights. "While there is still plenty of room to enlarge scope of this technology, it is clear that AI has a foothold in payers."

Jan-23, Payers' Guide to the Future of Trust
This IDC Perspective explains why trust is the most important currency in the digital era as well as a cornerstone of digital health. To build trust, payers should implement AI-powered digital experiences that improve listening capabilities, support first-time resolution of member issues, and improve the consistency and clarity of the information provided. If there is no member trust, then engagement, loyalty, and future growth hang in the balance.
"Member trust is not a 'soft' issue for payers. It is a must-have foundation that brings strategic value to the business in the digital economy. Trust is a key driver of member and provider retention and is the lifeblood of the payer business model," says Jeff Rivkin, research director for IDC Health Insights.
