Mr. Patel’s presentation, on Wednesday April 5, at 4 p.m., is entitled “What Technological Solutions Exist to Support the Clinical Supply Chain, Today and Tomorrow?”, and will broadly discuss new developments within the supply chain industry that are designed to help overcome challenges in clinical materials distribution and patient compliance. These include innovative approaches to labelling, real-time tracking of clinical materials from storage to patient receipt, dynamic inventory monitoring, and automatic management alerts for events such as temperature excursions and potential stock-outs.
Additionally, he will discuss how new technologies, designed to support patient compliance with treatment regimens outside of the clinical setting, are quickly developing, including internet-connected packaging and “smart pills”, which transmit information from inside the body.
Shailesh Patel is responsible for technology leadership and adoption. He has more than 25-years’ experience in developing, implementing and selling software solutions, the last 12 spent directly within clinical supplies. Prior to joining Catalent, he was co-founder of Enigma Information Systems Limited, a software consultancy specializing in designing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions and a systems integrator for a global ERP solution.
