OCTOBER 202319TECH OUTLOOK Our platform helps life science and BioPharma organizations unlock the power of their data to facilitate faster and better-informed decisions throughout the BioPharmaceutical lifecycle to accelerate the development of life-saving medicinesFlexible to fully integrate with the client's systems, IDBS Polar bridges data silos and eliminates manual operations by automatically capturing data in context at the point of execution. It creates a process-centric data backbone throughout the research and development cycle, making it easier to gain insights for optimizing the drug development process. It eliminates the need for data science teams to clean data, allowing them to focus on exploratory data mining, information investigation, and other relevant technical tasks. In most drug development cycles, there is no specific documentation on the deviations and alterations in experimental parameters made by scientists in an effort to optimize the drug development process. This limits the ability to build on historic knowledge or efficiently undertake investigations where issues occur. IDBS Polar fills this information gap by capturing a holistic view of process execution data including raw materials, process intermediates, equipment condition (calibration/maintenance status) and process parameter modifications, helping users thoroughly understand the changes and effortlessly navigate the workflow.IDBS Polar's integrated AI/ML-enabled data science engine, Polar Insight, extracts valuable insights from the data in the form of reports and visualizations, directly accessible by the scientists who generate the data, decreasing the reliance on data science teams. It enables improved decision-making to accelerate the development process and shorten time to critical milestones, and ultimately to market.Ranking high in flexibility, IDBS Polar's open architecture and universal connector infrastructure facilitate a bi-directional exchange of digital data with clients' existing software systems, instruments, and web services. The integration allows it to capture online and offline data while curating and aligning into the backbone, ETL mapping, and transformation processes, ensuring the highest levels of data integrity.In one instance, IDBS partnered with a cell line development group that was taking about six to eight weeks to generate a report. The delay was caused by its existing paper and electronic laboratory notebook and Excel-driven processes that manually connected data, materials, equipment, and people. Once IDBS identified the challenges and bottlenecks, it conducted a series of workshops to map out their cell line development processes, business rules and desired flexibility, and then deployed the IDBS Platform. This enabled the generation of a final cell line development report in about three weeks, reducing the typical reporting time by more than half. The client also calculated actual time savings of over 14,000 resource hours per year through implementing digital workflows, contextualized data capture and streamlined reporting.Besides streamlining the drug development process, IDBS Polar helps clients comply with the latest regulatory requirements. For example, when there are post-approval changes, organizations can use the platform to automate data validation tests and move a step closer to revised regulatory approval.Supported by its innovative software and industry expertise, IDBS is the ideal partner for any BioPharmaceutical company looking to successfully connect people, instruments, and experimental workflows, together with advanced analytics capabilities throughout the BioPharma lifecycle to facilitate breakthrough discoveries to save lives.
