“ In my perspective , the healthcare and life science team feel honoured to be in this industry because while a lot of the other industries work to make other people rich , what we are essentially doing is trying to save lives , and we save lives every day ”

data sources , pre-built APIs and AI / ML models . Offering niche tools that help users navigate even the most challenging needs , vLife TM is designed to help biopharma and medtech companies access and means to synthesise a large volume of sensitive Electronic Medical Records ( EMR ) data which was practically unavailable earlier .
Telehealth is another area that saw a huge boom in both necessity and innovation , with the onset of the pandemic as well as regulations around it loosening up , especially in the US . This put Lange and his team in full gear to support this almost overnight shift to home care – like building a portable dialysis machine that patients could now use at home rather than visiting a health centre .
Improving the quality of life for patients is ultimately what life sciences innovation is about , and the team at Virtusa continually innovate with this ambition in mind . Diving deeper into what the innovation roadmap looks like for Virtusa , Lange adds that a shift from professionals to platform is imminent . What this means is , whatever a PCP ( physical care physician ) traditionally does for their patients can now be provided as a service on a platform , thereby cutting out the need for in-person visits and opens the patient to a potentially wider network of care .
