Medera announced the publication of a study in Pharmacological Research demonstrating how its subsidiary Novoheart is using AI and machine learning to enhance drug screening with human mini-Heart technology. The study achieved an 86.2% predictive accuracy in classifying drug effects, addressing the challenge of high failure rates (over 90%) in clinical trials that result in development costs exceeding $2 billion per drug. The innovative approach combines AI/ML with multiple human mini-Heart screening assays to improve drug classification capabilities, potentially reducing costs and enhancing safety in drug development.
