We help medtech companies drive digital and advanced-analytics transformations to accelerate performance and enhance productivity across the entire value chain.
What we do
Digital and analytics transformations
Through our proven approach, we help global medtech leaders enhance their performance and competitiveness by focusing on defining the vision and strategy, executing priority use cases for value creation, building the data infrastructure, implementing agile ways of working, designing the organizational model, and managing change thoughtfully to make it sustainable.
R&D and product development
We help improve R&D performance and drive innovation through digital, analytics, and design tools. Examples include improving clinical-trial efficiency and site selection through artificial intelligence (AI), identifying drivers of R&D performance and ways to optimize processes through advanced analytics, and building products with enhanced precision, connectivity, and usability.
Manufacturing and supply-chain management
We help medtech companies drive operations efficiency by applying advanced analytics to the entire value chain. Examples of this include optimizing manufacturing, plant, and distribution networks using big data; maximizing yield through advanced analytics and real-time changes to flow; rightsizing inventory through statistical analytics and new technologies, such as radio-frequency identification; enhancing supply-chain planning with 24/7 sensing and dashboards; reducing engineering costs with predictive maintenance and machine data; and deploying automation in manufacturing and procurement.
Marketing and sales
We help clients unlock growth opportunities across all marketing and commercial levers. This includes setting up digital channels for patient-clinician engagement and e-commerce; deploying AI to predict purchase likelihood and define next steps for sales representatives; predicting and identifying under-diagnosed and under-treated patients using claims and electronic-medical-records data to better target patients; applying digital tools to optimize salesforce structures and deployment at the institution and physician-level; enhancing B2B-pricing opportunities with dynamic deal-scoring algorithms; and validating product value proposition and reimbursement with empirical evidence.
Enabling capabilities
We help improve productivity through automation in HR, finance, and IT and enable better decision making through enhanced competitive intelligence and forecasting capabilities.
