IQVIA (NYSE:IQV), a leading global provider of clinical research services, commercial insights and healthcare intelligence, announced today that the global independent research and analysis firm Everest Group® has named IQVIA a "front-runner generative AI leader" for the life sciences industry in its recent report, "AI-deas to Action: Operationalizing Generative AI in Life Sciences."
IQVIA was the only clinical research organization to receive the highest ranking of front-runner in the report, which measures the value impact of end-to-end generative AI capabilities for 15 carefully selected broad-based AI companies, CROs and life sciences specialists and niche firms. IQVIA is also the only CRO with a dedicated technology business unit to receive this designation.

This includes several IQVIA Healthcare-grade AI® solutions to identify nuances in the patient journey for improved clinical trial design, enhanced product commercialization strategies with deeper provider engagement analytics and precise market access insights.
