In February 2024, IBM Watson Health announced a groundbreaking partnership with the Mayo Clinic to develop and implement artificial intelligence (AI) tools for personalized treatment recommendations. This collaboration aimed to leverage Watson's vast medical knowledge base and advanced analytics capabilities alongside Mayo Clinic's deep clinical expertise. The project focused on creating AI-powered tools that could analyze patient data, identify optimal treatment protocols based on individual needs and medical history, and support clinical decision-making for physicians. 

This significant partnership has the potential to revolutionize medical management by offering more precise and data-driven treatment plans for patients, potentially leading to improved healthcare outcomes.

In May 2024, Verily Life Sciences, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. (parent company of Google), launched Project Baseline. This ambitious initiative aimed to create a comprehensive longitudinal health data study involving thousands of participants. Project Baseline aimed to gather a wide range of health data through wearable devices, genetic testing, blood sampling, and surveys. This data would then be analyzed using advanced algorithms to identify potential health risks, track disease development, and ultimately pave the way for personalized medicine. 

The launch of Project Baseline marked a significant step towards a future where medical management is tailored to an individual's unique biology and health history.

Medication Management Market Trends

Rising geriatric population is one of the key factors driving the medication management market.  Older adults tend to have significant comorbidities which in result increase the medication use and escalate the risk of poor outcomes. According to a 2018 study published in the Clinical Epidemiology, in high income countries, polypharmacy affects between 40% and 50% of older adults. Polypharmacy increases the risk of adverse drug-related events in older adults because a higher number of drugs are associated with a higher risk of harmful drug–drug interactions.

Various other factors such as rising healthcare IT funds, and need for reducing healthcare costs.

However, high software implementation and service maintenance costs can hamper the market growth over the forecast period.
