Why your online grocery order has better data infrastructure than clinical trials.
This week on Life Sciences Today
Clinical trials are racing to cure cancer, defeat rare diseases, and bring life-saving treatments to patients — yet researchers are still scribbling data on paper diaries. It took 22 years for electronic data capture to become standard.

I flew from Tel Aviv to London in the cockpit of an Airbus A310 and I saw autonomic flight in action.
Not making this up.
In this episode, I sit down with Kim Boericke, the new CEO of Veristat, one of the most data-driven CROs in the business. Kim brings 30 years of industry experience — from Quintiles to Icon to Thread Research — and a refreshingly clear-eyed vision for what needs to change.
We cover how Veristat is using AI to compress drug development timelines, why “write the label first” is the smartest protocol strategy nobody uses, and what the FDA’s new cybersecurity-as-quality guidance really means for sponsors.
Plus: the biggest anti-pattern holding the entire industry back — and why your online grocery order has better data infrastructure than most clinical trials.
