  10. Top 5 Pioneering Healthcare Leaders in 2023 Kurt HERPEL Kurt HERPEL Revolu?onizing Drug Discovery Through Ar?ficial Intelligence AI IS TRANSFORMING THE DRUG DISCOVERY PROCESS BY ENABLING SCIENTISTS TO QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY IDENTIFY DRUG COMPOUNDS WITH POTENTIAL THERAPEUTIC VALUE. AI CAN REVIEW VAST QUANTITIES OF DATA, UNCOVER SUBTLE RELATIONSHIPS, GENERATE MODELS AND ITERATIVELY TEST VARIATIONS, HIGHLIGHT SAFETY ISSUES, AND DO MORE IN A FEW WEEKS THAN A HUMAN TEAM COULD DO IN A LIFETIME.

  11. A cost-effectively. Unlike the traditionally time-consuming methods that involve many different grueling stages and series of actions from Early Drug Discovery, Pre-Clinical Phase, Clinical Phases and Regulatory Approval –that could take more than ten (10) years to develop a new drug from discovery to approval –,AI is promising a future that is full of actionable hope, with increased probability of success. I has unraveled unlimited possibilities in the way drugs are being discovered due to its ability to analyze vast reams of data, uncover patterns and relationships, and predict effects; helping scientists to develop viable drug targets faster, efficiently, and Co/MSD. The whole time, his goal has always been to help patients, particularly those afflicted with orphan diseases because it’s a very under-served segment. As he puts it, Kurt was around long before AI was as capable as it is today, but the prospect of using AI to improve the development of treatments was an exciting one. Initially, for Kurt, it was a very abstract concept, almost like science fiction. But this was several years ago. Over time, as his career evolved, and technology improved, it became more and more concrete. Although Kurt was involved with several other jobs and initiatives—but to make a long story short—they eventually led him to Delta4. There, Kurt and his team worked hard to combine the best of AI and the talent of the team to discover new drugs and indications for existing drugs for rare diseases. “As you can imagine, I'm quite happy to have aligned my professional mission so closely with my personal one,” adds Kurt. Today, the science and art of drug discovery have advanced beyond one’s expectations as a result of the implementation of Artificial Intelligence techniques—to not only discover new drugs—but also identify new indications for existing drugs with potential therapeutic values, that could help scientists develop better medicines faster, optimize cost, and human resources —and thus improve millions of people's lives. The Need for Developing Effective Treatments While there are several diseases with little to no treatment cure options, Kurt Herpel, the CEO of Delta 4 GmbH is dedicated to accelerating new treatment options and improving the health of patients through the use of AI proprietary computational analytics platform to identify breakthrough drug candidates. In partnership with healthcare institutions, he offers the opportunity to combine their technology with the client’s knowledge to develop treatments faster. As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, the quality of care for patients is also improving, thanks in part to advances in drug discovery and development. From more effective treatments to improved delivery systems, the healthcare industry is making strides to deliver more targeted and effective treatments for its patients. Developing effective treatments is immensely difficult and very expensive. “Recently, all of us had some experience with this as we saw, and are still seeing, how difficult COVID has been to corral. Despite teams dedicated to it around the world, it still required a considerable amount of time, funding, and resources to create a vaccine. It was a nearly unprecedented achievement to have created it so quickly, which puts into context just how challenging the process is,” adds Kurt. Using expert R&D and unique methodology to the core, Kurt Herpel has led Delta 4 GmbH, an AI drug discovery biotech company that utilizes Hyper-C, an AI-powered platform—to discover the undetected relationship between drugs with known safety profiles and diseases—and identify new indications. By operating the platform with a team of highly skilled medical and computational biologists, they can analyze and produce insights and opportunities for new therapy options that are cost-effective and time-saving for improved patient treatment. A relatively recent development that is changing the game in this regard is the advancement and implementation of artificial intelligence to not only discover new drugs but also identify new indications for existing drugs. Let’s learn more about Kurt’s AI measures in supporting drug discovery at Delta 4 GmbH. Kurt’s Inspiration for AI in Drug Development Role of AI in the Drug Discovery Process It all started with a spark of curiosity that gradually grew into a love for technology and a deep passion to help people. Kurt has spent the majority of his career in the pharmaceutical industry, a large part of it with Merck & Kurt believes that Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most promising areas of innovation, offering the potential to revolutionize the way drugs are discovered and developed. In the traditional drug discovery process, scientists use a

  12. A RELATIVELY RECENT DEVELOPMENT THAT IS CHANGING THE GAME IN THIS REGARD IS THE ADVANCEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO NOT ONLY DISCOVER NEW DRUGS BUT ALSO IDENTIFY NEW INDICATIONS FOR EXISTING DRUGS.

  13. WE’RE ALWAYS TRYING TO ADVANCE OUR PLATFORM HYPER-C, SO THAT WE CAN OFFER MORE APPLICATIONS, REPOSITIONING APPROACHES, AND DO EACH BETTER, FASTER AND MORE ACCURATELY. IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO STAY AT THE FOREFRONT OF THIS SPACE.

  14. About the In His Own Words “It’s truly a privilege to get to be the CEO of such a talented team. I think for most CEOs, there is a large list of func?ons and ac?vi?es that fall into the role, but in general, my most important func?on is to help define our mission and strategy and then ensure that all of our ini?a?ves, efforts and ac?vi?es are in alignment. My background in business and the experience that I have in the industry makes me a bit unique in the field. Many of the leaders in this space are scien?sts or come from a technological background. Of course, each background, including mine, has its pros and cons. One benefit of coming from a business background is that I tend to have a sharper focus on driving the assets we’re developing to clinical tes?ng as soon as safely possible, so we can get them to market faster. Fortunately, I can take that approach because of the vast amount of scien?fic and technological exper?se my team brings to the table. I am truly surrounded by a wealth of highly intelligent and capable people. It helps make my job a lot easier.”

  15. trial-and-error approach to identify potential drug compounds that show therapeutic potential. The process is guided by extraordinary amounts of research, experience, and brilliant minds, and to this point has yielded great advancements. However, it’s still very time-consuming, and in the case of diseases that are devastating but don’t affect a large portion of the population, prohibitively expensive. to us and we’re always on the lookout for potential partners who are as committed to quality and precision as we are,” adds Kurt. “We have programs in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and COVID-induced anosmia that have already begun their clinical phases, thanks to strong cooperation with clinics and Contract Research Organizations (CROs).” Hyper-C—a Key Instrument to Drug Discovery But AI is transforming the drug discovery process by enabling scientists to quickly and accurately identify drug compounds with potential therapeutic value. AI can review vast quantities of data, uncover subtle relationships, generate models and iteratively test variations, highlight safety issues, and do more in a few weeks than a human team could do in a lifetime. Delta4’s platform, Hyper-C, is a key instrument in pioneering AI to revolutionize the healthcare industry. “In more concrete terms, you’ll see this as we develop new drugs faster, identify new indications for existing drugs while also increasing their effectiveness, and most importantly, achieve this while improving drug safety by providing more information on potential drug interactions, side effects, and risks,” adds Kurt. “However, we’re not yet to the point where AI can reliably do this on its own. The process still requires human intellect to verify results and guide the process and outcomes. It’s something we do uniquely well at Delta4, we marry the best of AI and human ingenuity to produce uncommon results,” adds Kurt. “Everything I mentioned, we are already doing. But we continue to improve Hyper-C to make it faster, more efficient, and more effective. At Delta4 we’re aggressively moving toward a future where we can help all patients, including ones with rare diseases.” R&D Operations at the Company The Challenge of Access to Resources When most of the company’s activities stem from an AI- powered drug discovery platform, R&D is pretty much a constant aspect of its operation. “We’re always trying to advance our platform Hyper-C, so that we can offer more applications, repositioning approaches, and do each better, faster and more accurately. It’s the only way to stay at the forefront of this space. However, all of this is just what happens within the platform. That’s an invaluable piece of the process but it’s still only a piece,” says Kurt. One of the challenges of science, and not just in biotech, but in general, is access to resources. In many areas, the industry has advanced to a point where to further research, one needs very expensive equipment—supercomputers, particle accelerators, quantum computers, and related. “In varying degrees, our field is no different. So for us, it’s important to give others access to our AI platform to further their initiatives,” highlights Kurt. He thus partners with pharmaceutical companies and universities so that other brilliant minds can leverage the power of his AI platform. “This is something that we’re quite proud of as it helps accelerate the progress of new research, discoveries, treatments, and, ultimately, the advancement of the healthcare sector.” Kurt and his team have also invested in partnerships with university clinics in Austria and Germany to move forward with preclinical and clinical programs. “These are important Opportunities for Growth Delta4’s biggest challenge has also been the source of much of Kurt’s innovation and has brought the company more opportunities. Thankfully, building up the company has been a very smooth process. Kurt and his team have been able to combine people, processes, and technology effectively and seamlessly.

  16. His attention is now on scaling up to aggressively develop Delta4’s pipeline. However, doing so requires securing additional funding and with a global recession looming, this is a bit more challenging than usual. common it’s that—every day we come into work excited that today could be the day we make a breakthrough that improves the quality of patients’ lives around the world. And if it doesn’t happen today, we’re excited that we’re a bit closer to helping them tomorrow.” At the same time, this temporary dearth of resources has motivated him to think outside the box and find innovative strategies to streamline Delta4’s processes so that Kurt and his team are uncompromisingly geared toward bringing shortlisted compounds into clinical testing. Looking Ahead Kurt believes that the year 2023 is an exciting one for the company. “We have a planned Series-B investment that we will utilize to zealously advance our in-silico pipeline into the clinical phase. We have several fascinating assets in our pipeline that we’re certain will yield wonderful and lucrative opportunities,” highlights Kurt. The company has also been able to leverage grant opportunities and use this time to get laser-focused on driving higher quality and differentiating its offering to attract clients. It’s been a very successful approach and Kurt has been very pleased with the results. “We are also ramping up our sales effort to grow our work with pharmaceutical companies. Pharma companies are interested in leveraging our platform, Hyper-C, for a variety of different objectives. During these projects, our team uses the platform to conduct research and/or asset development on behalf of a client. For us, they are beneficial because they allow us to continue to refine our process and algorithms and yield revenue that we can reinvest into our pipeline.” Advice to the Budding Enthusiasts The healthcare sector is a big space with a lot of different opportunities and work. It’s also a very difficult space. In that, the challenges are large and rife with complexity. “The setbacks are painful because we’re dealing with people, often in sensitive conditions, and in many cases, hefty hopes are hanging on the outcomes,” mentions Kurt. “Between these two initiatives, we’re very excited about everything we will accomplish in 2023 and how it will position us for continued success next year,” he concludes. “So, my advice would be to make sure that you are passionate about helping people. At our company, we have people from many different backgrounds, with experience in varying fields. But if there is one thing we all have in

In such cases of senior citizens, there is a rising need for nursing and medical treatment to be provided at their residences itself. With the increasing number of senior citizens who need these medical services regularly at their residences. Looking into the need, modern medical professionals have started providing home care to senior citizens addressing their individual needs. in Aging Populations W Physical Support A nurse or caregiver gives good physical support through his continuous presence with the senior citizen. These strong individuals can physically support and guide the elderly to move quickly within the house. Several older adults cannot visit the washrooms and are given in-bed service by immediately cleaning their faeces and disposing of them. The basic requirements of regularly changing mattresses, bedsheets, and clothes are essential for the person's health. Senior people staying alone or whose close relatives away need support in their primary activities. They are provided dedicated support and care by professionally trained caregivers, nurses and medical professionals. Home care is critical as it offers various benefits and merits. Great Convenience Several senior citizens must visit the doctors for minor checkups, which puts them in a lot of inconvenience and 16

  19. April 2023 tension. Regardless of the support, they prefer having the doctor visit them instead. The doctors have a hectic and volatile schedule making it difficult to visit the patients for the checkup. They require some supporting assistance who can undertake the tasks diligently. Modern home care providers are qualified and experienced professionals who can carry out all these procedures and communicate with the doctor accordingly. The doctor talks to the senior citizen over the phone or video call and understands the conditions. Professional caregivers also emphasize encouraging and supporting seniors' active participation in daily routines. Home care enhances their overall well-being by involving older adults in activities such as meal preparation, light household chores, and social engagement. This engagement fosters a sense of purpose, preventing social isolation and promoting mental and emotional well-being. The best part is that these services can be tailored to address specific health conditions and mobility challenges that seniors may face. These services, from skilled nursing care to physical therapy, ensure that older adults receive the necessary support to manage their health effectively and prevent unnecessary hospitalizations. Understanding the Challenges of the Aging Population The world is experiencing a significant demographic shift, with the number of older adults aged 60 and above projected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050. This demographic transition poses several challenges, including an increased burden on healthcare systems and limited availability of institutional care facilities. Moreover, studies consistently show that seniors prefer to age in their homes, surrounded by familiar environments and loved ones. The slower movements, and depletion in their hearing, remembering and digesting capacities make them feel helpless. They prefer the convenience of their homes where they are aware of everything. Relief to Families The importance of home care extends beyond the individual. Family members and communities benefit greatly from these services. Home care alleviates the burden on family caregivers, who often juggle multiple responsibilities while caring for their aging loved ones. By entrusting the care of seniors to trained professionals, families can find peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are in capable hands. The caregivers enable communities to support aging populations while promoting social cohesion. By keeping older adults in their homes, communities can preserve intergenerational connections and tap into the wisdom and experiences of their senior members. This fosters a sense of inclusivity and strengthens community bonds. The Role of Home Care Home care services today play a pivotal role in meeting the needs of aging populations. These services encompass a range of personalized assistance, including help with daily activities, medication management, companionship, and healthcare support. Home care promotes independence, autonomy, and a higher quality of life by enabling older adults to remain in their own homes. Making Life Worthwhile Home care services are becoming increasingly vital as the world's population ages. By empowering independence and enabling seniors to age in place, home care contributes to the overall well-being of older adults. The personalized support and healthcare services offered by home care providers benefit seniors and alleviate the strain on families and communities. Embracing the growing importance of home care in aging populations is crucial for creating a society that values and supports the well-being of its senior members. Empowering Independence One of the key benefits of home care is its ability to empower independence in aging populations. By providing personalized care in the familiar surroundings of the home, seniors can maintain control over their lives and decision- making processes. Home care services are intended to be flexible, allowing seniors to receive assistance based on their individual needs and preferences. This approach fosters a sense of empowerment and self-determination. -Kedar Borgaonkar 18

What inspires you to serve the healthcare industry? Several years ago, a friend of mine suffered from prostate cancer. He was a respected man, a friend of many. But after his diagnosis, he virtually disappeared from our social circles. When I spoke to him, I learned that he suffers from urinary incontinence. And he was embarrassed to be in public. In 2017, Staali co-founded ProvenMed intending to create a platform that could help healthcare providers improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. ProvenMed uses AI and machine learning to analyze patient data and provide personalized treatment recommendations to healthcare providers. This innovative approach to healthcare has already garnered recognition, including being named one of the Top 10 AI-Powered Healthcare Solution Providers by Healthcare Tech Outlook in 2022. He cannot live the active lifestyle he once had. He was embarrassed to go in public with adult diapers. And, it was too painful and uncomfortable for him to use catheters. So he stayed at home. That time I realized that it is a blessing to have full control of our bladder. Imagine, would you leave your house if you are scared to wet yourself? It is a fear and stress that haunts millions. And what can we do about it? Wear a diaper? That must be hard on self-esteem. For those of you who don't know, urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control. It means you can't control when you urinate. It's a common and often embarrassing problem that affects more than 423 million people around the world. I tried to help my friend but there was no solution in the market. Under Staali's leadership, ProvenMed has continued to grow and expand, helping more and more healthcare providers improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. His vision and dedication have earned him a reputation as a pioneering healthcare leader, and his insights into the future of healthcare are highly sought after.
