Drug repurposing AI is a key innovation area in artificial intelligence

AI-assisted drug repurposing involves utilizing artificial intelligence algorithms and techniques to identify potential new uses for existing drugs. This can involve analyzing large amounts of chemical and biological data to identify new molecular targets for these drugs, predicting the binding affinity of the drugs with the target, potential side effects and drug interactions, and identifying patient populations that may benefit from repurposed drugs.

GlobalData’s analysis also uncovers the companies at the forefront of each innovation area and assesses the potential reach and impact of their patenting activity across different applications and geographies. According to GlobalData, there are 260+ companies, spanning technology vendors, established pharmaceutical companies, and up-and-coming start-ups engaged in the development and application of drug repurposing AI.

Key players in drug repurposing AI – a disruptive innovation in the pharmaceutical industry

‘Application diversity’ measures the number of applications identified for each patent. It broadly splits companies into either ‘niche’ or ‘diversified’ innovators.   

‘Geographic reach’ refers to the number of countries each patent is registered in. It reflects the breadth of geographic application intended, ranging from ‘global’ to ‘local’.
