A new report from the Access to Medicine Foundation reveals how patient-focused pharma companies’ access efforts are

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The latest report from the Access to Medicine Foundation takes a first-ever look at the critical issue of how some of the largest pharmaceutical companies are reaching patients worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Ahead of the 2024 Access to Medicine Index, the Foundation examined the patient reach commitments and measurement approaches of the 20 companies that will be ranked in the upcoming Index in November. The analysis identified 42 unique approaches to measuring patient reach, each with varying degrees of comprehensiveness. Companies like AstraZeneca, Novartis, and Roche are leading the way with more nuanced approaches that go beyond simply tracking sales, enhancing the accuracy of their patient reach calculations. The report also emphasises that while many companies have set ambitious goals for reaching more patients in LMICs, these commitments could benefit from further refinement in order to drive real change.

What does the report find?

Encouragingly, 19 of the 20 companies assessed have reported using approaches to track the patients they reach with their essential medicines in LMICs, with the exception of AbbVie. However, these approaches vary widely.

Notably, many pharmaceutical companies set ambitious goals and make public commitments to expand their global patient reach, particularly in LMICs. A few of these commitments, including those set by Bayer, GSK and Johnson & Johnson, are clear, measurable and ambitious, with targets aligned with high global disease burdens.

However, findings also reveal significant potential for companies to refine their commitments and better their efforts to reach those in need. For example, the major insulin manufacturers—Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi—control over 90% of the market share and have pledged to expand access to their products in LMICs. Yet, their commitments collectively address only 1% of the diabetes prevalence within the 113 LMICs in the scope of the Index, which currently stands at over 350 million cases out of the global 525 million cases, according to Global Burden of Disease data from 2021.

“We have seen that the pharmaceutical industry is making ambitious commitments to reach more patients worldwide. However, this report reveals that there is still much work to be done in achieving meaningful impact and calls for urgent steps to ensure lifesaving products reach every patient, everywhere.”

– Jayasree K. Iyer, CEO, Access to Medicine Foundation.

Next steps

To address chronic health inequity, the pharma industry and its partners must embed patient reach at the core of their business and partnerships. Using the key findings and recommendations identified in the Foundation’s report, companies can strengthen and expand their current approaches, as well as collaborate and learn from one another.

AI-Media and ITV Announce Landmark Partnership to Revolutionize Captioning Services

LONDON, Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AI-Media, the global leader in AI-powered captioning and translation services, is proud to announce a new partnership with ITV, the UK’s largest commercial broadcaster. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the use of AI captioning technology to enhance accessibility and operational efficiency across ITV’s extensive broadcast network.

AI-Media and ITV Announce Landmark Partnership

David Padmore, Director of Accessibility for ITV, emphasised the importance of this partnership in advancing ITV’s commitment to adopting new technologies. “At ITV, we are constantly seeking innovative solutions to improve our services and meet the diverse needs of our audience. Working with AI-Media has allowed us to take advantage of cutting-edge AI to streamline our captioning workflows while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and reliability.”

The partnership centres on the deployment of AI-Media’s LEXI live automatic captioning solution, which integrates seamlessly with ITV’s existing infrastructure. The collaborative effort between AI-Media and ITV has resulted in a technology architecture tailored to the broadcaster’s complex requirements, including its 18 regional news variants. The solution will utilise AI Media’s SDI Encoder Pro Cards to deliver LEXI captioning as VANC embedded data into ITV’s existing architecture and will be operated by ITV’s expert Access Services team. AI Media’s Alta product will also be used for ITVX and other IP video workflows.

Traditionally, ITV’s regional news captioning involved a manual workflow with significant staffing requirements. The shift to automation through AI-Media’s LEXI is expected to dramatically impact resourcing, leading to significant efficiencies and cost reductions. The automation of workflows allows ITV to provide more captions, enhancing accessibility for its viewers. Additionally, the LEXI system’s increased reliability and reduced latency are expected to improve the overall quality of service.

The implementation of AI-Media’s automated workflows was straightforward, causing no disruptions to ITV’s playout solutions. This flexibility around playout has been a considerable advantage, enabling a smooth transition to the new system.

ITV’s captioning team will continue to play a crucial role in developing bespoke topic models, ensuring the highest level of accuracy and relevance in captions. The move to automated workflows allows ITV to offer more regional news captions, ultimately benefiting a broader audience.

“ITV chose AI-Media because of our robust infrastructure and the ability to deploy LEXI in complex broadcast environments. Our experience in delivering captions in highly regulated markets and our strong relationships with regulatory bodies like Ofcom, ACMA, and FCC were significant factors in their decision,” said John Peck, VP of International Sales at AI-Media. “This partnership not only enhances ITV’s operational efficiency but also confirms their position as forward-thinking innovators in the European access services community.”

ITV’s collaboration with AI-Media highlights its dedication to enhancing viewer experience through advanced technology and underscores its role as a leader in accessibility and innovation.

Regulated Online Casinos using Military-Grade Technology to Outsmart Cyber Criminals

WATERFORD, Ireland, Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With cybercrime running rampant and data breaches on the rise, trusted online casinos globally are arming themselves with the latest military-grade encryption technologies to outsmart even the most sophisticated cyber thugs.

Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC) – a leading global casino resource portal – said data breaches were becoming more common and costly as resourceful criminals lurk everywhere on the internet. For the gambling industry, data encryption goes beyond protecting financial transactions: it’s about securing every interaction – from logins to game history. Every piece of player information is encrypted, making it virtually impossible for unauthorized parties to access.

“Regulated and reputable online casinos cannot afford to gamble on security. Player safety and protection is a non-negotiable. That’s why they are investing heavily in multi-layered next gen encryption – the same technology used by governments and global financial institutions – to become impenetrable to digital threats,” said Miranda Raaff, Head of iGaming Information at MDC.

“This level of high-tech security means that even in the event of a possible data breach, encrypted information remains unreadable and useless to cybercriminals. The integration of state-of-the-art firewalls, end-to-end encryption, and real-time monitoring systems means online casinos are safeguarding every transaction from deposits to withdrawals, as well as securing every player interaction in transit.”

The urgency of this move has never been more critical. With high-profile breaches like those at energy giant Halliburton, data broker company National Public Data (NPD), and auto giant Toyota – billions of individuals’ sensitive information could be exposed.

“The stakes have never been higher. The mission of regulated online casinos is to outsmart cyber hooligans at every turn and that’s why they are constantly adapting their defenses to combat new threats in the fast-changing cyber world. Player trust is the cornerstone of their success, so they are doing everything in their power to protect it,” concluded Raaff.

About Minimum Deposit Casinos

Minimum Deposit Casinos, a division of the OneTwenty Group, is a global iGaming resource portal that reviews and recommends the most trusted and reliable online casinos to players. MDC analyses every aspect of online casinos from checking gaming license details, to security, responsible gambling tools, and fair gaming practices, before recommending them to players.
