The state of bioinformatics in the fight against AMR

In 2021, technology platforms and solutions that simplify and facilitate detection of drug-resistant infections will continue to evolve and provide value in the fight against AMR. With more and more healthcare systems adopting platforms that deliver treatment insights to enable smarter use of antibiotics, we can expect to see an uptick in cloud-based solutions that encourage collaboration between healthcare facilities and providers. Additionally, as the world continues to grapple with the Covid-19 pandemic, data-sharing platforms capable of delivering broader insights on infectious disease outbreaks will become valuable solutions for epidemiologists and frontline workers alike.
