How the life sciences
sector can address the greatest health challenges and reduce inequalities

Publications

Health is one of our most untapped opportunities for prosperity and happiness, as both individuals and society. Yet these opportunities are not shared equally. The life sciences sector has a unique opportunity to actively reduce health inequalities.

We outline two key challenges facing society where the life sciences sector can make significant contributions to reducing inequalities. The first challenge is more people living with multiple conditions, the second is aligning financial incentives around patient and population health.

Throughout our report, we look at the drivers of inequalities across the medicine life cycle, envisioning what success looks like and sharing practical actions that could help achieve this vision. We explore the areas of pre-medicine approval, market access, post-approval, and the role of life science companies as employers.

By transforming health systems from importers of illness to exporters of health, we can make sure that health is prioritised as an asset, ultimately providing opportunities to individuals, societies and economies.

How we can help

Multimorbidity, living with two or more conditions is one of the biggest challenges facing patients and health systems today. We leverage real world datasets and innovative approaches to generate evidence that identifies patient groups with the greatest unmet needs in a more holistic manner that reflects the drivers of ill health.

We apply scientific rigour to evaluate the economic and clinical value of healthcare interventions using both traditional and innovative perspectives and methods.

Supporting our clients to achieve equitable health outcomes is a golden thread throughout our work. We combine our expertise to translate evidence into change and apply population health analytics to help reduce inequalities in health and health outcomes.

We integrate a wealth of health and health-related datasets and develop bespoke interactive visualisations to make it accessible and rapid for clients to glean insights across a range of areas.
