The biotech industry’s widening divide between the haves and have nots dominated 2024 - large oversubscribed rounds at one end, while others stretched cash runways, facing potential shutdowns. As Holistic patient-centric innovations leverage cross-vertical integrated (multi-modal) solutions to advance Precision Medicine & democratize access to quality care, we cover selectively broad highlights, to look beyond single verticals of pharma, medtech/medical device, and techbio, to view interdepedencies and potential multi-modal synergies as we move toward a multimodal AI transformation.
