Globant and Topazium join to create new paradigms in drug discovery, clinical research, diagnostics, and well-being

MADRID - September 27, 2022 – Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technology solutions, and Topazium, the biotech startup specialized in integrating the latest advances in artificial intelligence (AI) with traditional medical care, today announced a partnership to deliver AI-powered preclinical, clinical, and diagnostic solutions to the life sciences industry. 

In healthcare and diagnostics, Topazium's computer vision algorithms for early skin cancer diagnosis (SkinGuard) and evaluation of chest X-rays (ChestGuard) are AI tools that will be further enabled for educational and clinical purposes with Globant’s data platform and mobile development capabilities.

In preclinical and clinical research areas, Globant’s technology capabilities enable the delivery of scalable research and development (R&D) data platforms for life sciences customers utilizing Topazium’s AI tools and frameworks. This will include drug discovery solutions for genome-based new target identification, drug screening, and drug design, as well as solutions to identify subpopulations of patients for clinical and real-world studies, develop synthetic control arms, and predict clinical trial feasibility and success.

“We believe that the partnership with Globant is a key milestone in our aim to advance new paradigms in drug discovery, clinical research, diagnostics, and well-being. Globant’s data platform capabilities will enable us to scale and improve our AI tools. Joining our experience and capabilities, we take a giant leap towards creating a smarter way for our customers to deliver medical care to patients, and ultimately, achieve one of the most challenging global goals, health for all,” said Carlos Galmarini, Founder and CEO of Topazium.

The companies will also explore expanding Globant’s BeHealthy rewards program, promoting healthy behaviors with Topazium’s aging and longevity AI frameworks. Globant’s BeHealthy rewards program is an app that promotes positive engagement and better health with an innovative rewards program, in which the user can configure personal goals related to moving, exercising, and standing. Using information collected from wearables and apps like BeHealthy, Topazium’s AI frameworks could calculate a person's physiological age and make personalized recommendations related to diet, sleep, or physical activity to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

“Today, people live longer thanks to the advancements in science and to other factors. For that reason, some diseases, which previously contributed to reduced life expectancy, are now chronic. This creates challenges related to the cost and delivery of health care,” said Lucas Najun Dubos, Global Director for Disease Management and Value-Based Healthcare Programs at Globant. “But modern technologies can successfully enable people to live healthier and longer lives, delaying the onset of conditions such as cardiovascular disease. We are confident that together with Topazium, we can enhance our solutions to improve the well-being and longevity of more people.”

“Our life sciences customers are looking for end-to-end, scalable solutions to fully support their research and development capabilities by leveraging and connecting data across their products' life cycle, from drug discovery all the way through post-commercialization,” said Basia Coulter, Global Director for Drug Discovery and Clinical Trial Programs at Globant. “Topazium’s artificial intelligence tools enable the generation of insights to support the acceleration and optimization of the full cycle of research and development. We are excited to enable scalability of these tools with the breadth of our data, data platforms, and life sciences expertise.”

• Globant to award thousands of dollars in leadership program scholarships
• Nominations are open at womenawards.globant.com
• The Company rang the Opening Bell at the NYSE, where it presented the award with last year's winners Vaneza Caycho Ñuflo, Elena M. Ordonez del Campo and Valentina Moreno Viveros.

San Francisco - August 23, 2022 - Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technology solutions, announced today the launch of the third annual  Women that Build Awards that recognize women around the world excelling in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math (STEAM). 

The awards are designed to spur innovation and collaboration in the technology industry while promoting plurality and connecting women from different parts of the world. This year's awards include five categories: Tech Entrepreneur, Digital Leader, Rising Star, Board Executive, and Techfluencer. Awards per category will be given globally with judging panels in each of the following countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, Mexico and Caribbean, Peru & Ecuador, Spain, UK,  U.S. & Canada, and Uruguay.

Global prizes will include scholarships directed to leadership programs at prominent universities. Winners will also be spotlighted on the NYSE Times Square billboard in New York City and invited to attend an international workshop with past Women that Build Award winners and finalists. Additionally, a trip to the global awards ceremony is included in the agenda, having there the opportunity to network with speakers and participate in panels, talks, and community-building activities. 

“There is no doubt that the gender pay-gap and the lack of female representation, including board level executive positions in the tech sector, has been a longstanding global issue," said Patricia Pomies, Chief Operating Officer, Globant. "During the post-pandemic, the gender gap increased in technology, and growth opportunities declined. With this in mind, organizations can provide new learning opportunities, accompany women to achieve leadership positions and hacking barriers so that all people can thrive on finding professional growth within our industry.” 

According to the World Economic Forum’s 2022 Global Gender Gap Report, women only occupy 24% of leadership positions (Director, VP, CXO & Partner). Globant believes that women that occupy leadership positions within the IT industry can create a positive impact for other women. In order to distinguish and recognize such a distinctive role, in this year’s Awards, Globant created the Board Executive category, which aims to complement existing categories towards a more long-lasting impact in society.  

“At Globant we want to recognize the many women who have paved the way forward in technology and who are transforming our world in a positive way,” said Martín Migoya, CEO and Co-founder of Globant. “The STEAM fields are offering the highest demand for jobs of the future and we believe that women must take A main role in designing the new technology paradigm, bringing their valuable and diverse perspectives to inspire more women to innovate, lead and embrace entrepreneurship in the sector.”

At the moment, the 2022 awards will be supported by sponsors such as Salesforce, World Economic Forum (WEF), and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Additionally, Rosario Marin, former US Treasurer, and Kimberly Bryant, Founder of Black Girls CODE and CEO and Founder of Ascend Ventures confirmed their participation on the juries. 

The past editions of the Awards had 4,000 candidates in more than 25 countries, 80,000 votes, and 90 international juries including David Howell Evans (The Edge), Chairman of Endeavor Ireland & Guitarist for U2, and Shari Loessberg, Senior Lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management in 2020, and Cristina Farjallat, Head of Scaled Latam at Meta and Beatriz Argimón, Vice President of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay in 2021. 

On August 16, 2022, Globant presented the third edition of the Awards by ringing the Opening Bell at the NYSE with last year’s global winners, including Vaneza Caycho Ñuflo, Elena M. Ordonez del Campo, Valentina Moreno Viveros, and other Globant representatives.

• Quadrant Knowledge Solutions conducted in-depth research of the major Healthcare IT Services vendors by evaluating their product portfolio, market presence, and customer value proposition.
• Globant's key differentiator in Healthcare IT Services is its end-to-end capabilities, from consultancy to development and implementation. 
• The company received strong ratings for its technology excellence and customer impact. 

 
New York - 21 September 2022- Globant, (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technology solutions, today announced it was named a 2022 technology leader in the SPARK Matrix analysis of the global Healthcare IT Services market. The research includes a profound analysis of the global healthcare market for short-term and long-term growth opportunities, emerging technology trends, market trends, and future market outlook. 
 
"We are proud of this recognition as it represents Globant's proficiency around its technology and industry capabilities that will enable the healthcare and life sciences ecosystem to be reinvented," said Agustin Lamas, Managing Director, Global Life-Sciences. "Technology and life sciences are now intertwined. There is a need to accelerate pharmaceutical drug discovery, and it's time to market and deploy data integration to improve decision-making processes, generate efficiencies in the ecosystem, and improve the end-to-end customer journey, particularly on access to medicine, adherence, and consumer experience."
 
The Quadrant Knowledge Solutions SPARK Matrix™: Healthcare IT Services includes a detailed analysis of global market dynamics, major trends, vendor landscape, and competitive positioning. The study provides competitive analysis and ranking of the leading Healthcare IT Services vendors in the form of its SPARK Matrix. It gives strategic information for users to evaluate different vendors' capabilities, competitive differentiation, and market position.
 
"Globant strives to reinvent the life sciences ecosystem through tangible, technologically driven solutions," said Diego Tartara, Chief Technology Officer at Globant. "Transformation must happen in all life sciences companies at the roots of processes and people's organization, backed by a 360° analysis of customer intelligence, prediction, and personalized offerings. These changes will allow them to become customer-centric and trusted along the value chain.”
 
In the healthcare providers' environment, one of the biggest shifts as a result of the pandemic was  the rise in consumerism and the hospital-at-home trend with the expansion of telehealth. Patients are demanding health services but also frictionless experiences in each phase of the patient journey, from a hospital visit to insurance reimbursements. 
 
In life sciences research and development, digital technologies foster personalized access to information and awareness of clinical trials for potential participants and enable decentralization of clinical trial operations, driving higher enrollment rates, better patient engagement, and improved adherence to treatment. Together, digital solutions contribute to the democratization of clinical trials while reducing overall timelines and the cost of bringing life-saving medicines to the market. At the same time, connecting data across the pharmaceutical product life cycle with real-world data (RWD), academic research—and other public and private data sources—and applying AI/ML technology to discover biological targets and predict molecule candidates, hold tremendous potential to radically accelerate time-to-market for new treatments.
 
"Globant, with its comprehensive technology for healthcare IT services, has received strong ratings across the parameters of technology excellence and customer impact and has been positioned amongst the technology leaders in the 2022 SPARK Matrix of the Healthcare IT Services market," according to Nikhilesh Naik, Analyst, Quadrant Knowledge Solutions. "Globant, through its Studio model comprised of Reinvention Studios and Digital Studios, aims to develop industry-specific offerings and enhance end users' ability to develop business models and technical capabilities. With its best-in-class omnichannel platforms, Globant enables all stakeholders' participation in offering access to healthcare data and in formulating healthcare policies."
 
Globant's Life Sciences Reinvention Studio seeks to bridge the gap to help life sciences and healthcare organizations to achieve their mission of delivering innovation and services faster and more efficiently to enhance patient value and improve outcomes. The Studio manages four main verticals including Drug Discovery, Clinical Trials, Disease Management & Value-Based Healthcare, and Go to Market Strategy.
