Health care company Sanofi has become the latest to appoint a chief digital officer (CDO). The move comes as other companies are looking for ways to improve their online presence and increase engagement with customers. The re­port was re­leased on Mon­day, de­tail­ing the promise of ge­nomics, AI, ro­bot­ics and dig­i­tal med­i­cine in the pre­ven­tion, man­age­ment and treat­ment of dis­ease, and high­light­ed the im­por­tance of ed­u­cat­ing the NHS work­force of these ad­vances. The appointment was announced after the launch of the findings of an NHS review into the use of digital technology in health provision, which highlight the need for NHS staff to be trained in such developments as AI and robotics. Pfizer, Merck, Novartis and GSK have already named CDOs.
