Kinetic began as the omnichannel marketing business unit at Syneos Health, and evolved into a unified data and insights platform for our global Commercial business. Next step? Integrating AI to deliver Intelligence as a Service. Duncan leads the AI innovation, helping scale AI across global life science companies. He brings over 20 years of experience helping businesses adapt to emerging technologies. He first published on the impact of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare in 2018, and started developing his GenAI capabilities as a beta user of GPT3 in 2021. Since then, he’s pivoted the primary outputs of the Syneos Health Innovation function from PowerPoint to Python, and now spends most of his time on engineering custom tools for client and internal teams, addressing multiple use cases across the clinical to commercial spectrum.

How to Pick an AI Partner in Pharma: Brilliant Questions to Ask Before You Sign

  • Understand the exact criteria a pharma AI lead now uses to choose partners, so you can upgrade your own RFPs and avoid the mistakes they made.
  • See how a real AI partner adapted its workflows, MLR readiness, and governance, so you can spot which vendors are genuinely enterprise-ready versus slideware.
  • Leave with a practical checklist you can apply immediately to shortlist, compare, and de-risk partners in your next review.
