Digital & health technologies
Accelerating innovation toward therapeutic development
Advancing digital transformation of therapeutic development
The digital and health technologies chapter of the Swiss Biotech Association unites members and stakeholders to advance the digital transformation of therapeutic development. We focus on technologies that enable or enhance the discovery, development, delivery, and manufacturing of novel therapeutics.
Core areas
Digital tools and computational approaches that contribute to:
- Target identification and validation
- Drug property prediction and optimization
- Personalized treatment design
- Clinical trial optimization
- Drug repurposing
- Digital companion diagnostics and therapeutics
- Manufacturing process optimization and forecasting
Enabling systems support
To support safe, scalable innovation, the chapter also promotes essential enabling systems:
- Regulatory-grade data infrastructure to ensure compliance, traceability, and auditability of clinical data and AI models
- Secure, interoperable data ecosystems, such as federated learning platforms, enabling decentralized collaboration without compromising privacy.
Reinforcing Switzerland’s global leadership in biotech innovation
Together, these technologies power precision diagnostics, predictive modeling, treatment optimization, and data-driven clinical decisions – building the foundation for trusted, high-impact digital solutions and strengthening Switzerland’s position as a global leader in biotech innovation.
