Therapeutics Delivery: Alternative Technology Trends and Innovation

Injection, ingestion and inhalation have been the traditional methods of drug delivery. However, with evolving technologies, the challenge for drug manufacturers and drug delivery companies is to provide the best benefits of both existing and new drug technologies for patients, healthcare workers and the healthcare system.

To offer these benefits, various methods are under development. These approaches focus on delivery systems that are self-administered, targeted and have sustained release with strengthened bioavailability. Determining which of the emerging techniques will meet all of these criteria is a complex and intricate problem. Meeting these challenges will require some combination of drugs, delivery devices and mechanisms currently being developed. This combination of technology, intellectual property, market and stakeholder understanding is vital to improving health.

This event will focus on exploring the technologies that are available or under development and address these issues.
