Bapak Andreas D. Prakasa as the panelist in The Digital Hub Executive Talks event
Bapak Andreas D. Prakasa, Head of Corporate Relations at PT Etana Biotechnologies Indonesia, brought his expertise in the field of biotechnology to the conversation,“The digitization of medical data enables personalised diagnostic or therapeutic solutions to treat diseases. Nowadays, the trend in medical therapies has recently shifted from chemical drugs to biological products.
Therefore, it is a good ecosystem for biopharmaceutical company development, including in Indonesia. Biological products provide innovative platforms that can both improve patient care through effective clinical treatment and treat a broad range of diseases. In the next decades, the advancement in medical biotechnology is promising to cure genetic disease, provide precise medicine for everyone with minimum adverse events, and discovery of new pharmaceutical products. However developing biopharmaceutical products is more complex not only in investment but also in technology and human resources,” said Bapak Andreas.

Arief Wibowo, Head of Medical and Research at Asa Ren, added his perspective to the panel, “I feel honoured to be one of the speakers at this event, discussing the challenges and opportunities of Big Data in the Healthcare System from a broad perspective.
Big Data plays a crucial role in the healthcare domain, particularly in utilising genomic data to enhance the accuracy of disease prediction, especially within the Indonesian population. It is hoped that with the increasing availability of genomic data from the Indonesian population, a more precise depiction of disease risks can be attained, specifically tailored to the Indonesian populace.”
