Lilly expands R&D footprint in Singapore with SGD$42 million investment in new Digital Health Innovation Hub

Lilly Digital Health and Lilly Centre for Clinical Pharmacology (LCCP), a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S.-based Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly), today announced the establishment of a SGD$42 million Digital Health Innovation Hub in Singapore to accelerate the research and development of AI-powered digital health technologies. This cutting-edge initiative forms the basis of a 5-year plan, supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB).

A celebration event today marked the establishment of the Digital Health Innovation Hub held at the Lilly Centre for Clinical Pharmacology (LCCP), a world class clinical research unit in Biopolis, where the Digital Health Innovation Hub will be based.

To boost Lilly and Singapore’s shared interest in AI-led scientific discovery and technology development, the Digital Health Innovation Hub will advance digital health technologies that offer unique insights into patient health outside the clinic setting. Lilly develops these digital health technologies for global clinical development teams across its focus therapeutic areas of Cardiometabolic Health, Neurodegeneration, Pain, Oncology and Immunology.

Two additional Centers of Excellence are also planned: the Lilly Gait Center of Excellence and the Lilly Computer Vision Center of Excellence.

The Digital Health Innovation Hub will deploy Lilly’s state-of-the-art Magnol.AI™ platform, which enables sophisticated and secure ingestion, visualization, and processing of high- frequency sensor data collected using wearable sensors. When aligned with clinician and patient-reported outcomes, Magnol.AI™ enables unmatched real-time data science capabilities, which are critical for digital health technology development. Magnol.AI™ empowers clinical scientists to conduct high-quality digital health research with AI-driven precision and streamlined efficiency.

Lilly is excited to develop and expand the Digital Health Innovation Hub’s capabilities via partnerships with Singaporean academic, health care and research entities. These collaborations, facilitated by the Biomedical Sciences Industry Partnership Office (BMSIPO), a national platform hosted by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), will leverage the existing highly integrated health care systems to foster the development of digital health technologies, reaffirming Lilly and Singapore’s commitment to improving patient care and advancing the frontiers of medical research innovation.
