|BioSpectrum Asia May2024
Lokavant Holdings, a US-based clinical trial intelligence technology company provides clinical trial intelligence that enables study teams to make data-driven decisions, as well as risk-based quality management and monitoring services to pharmaceutical companies and contract research organisations (CROs).
Recently, the firm received $8 million in funding from Japanese behemoth Mitsui & Co. to bring its technology to APAC. Rohit Nambisan, CEO and Co-Founder of Lokavant, shares his perspectives with BioSpectrum Asia on the evolving clinical trial landscape in the region and the importance of digital health technologies for clinical trials.
Could you elaborate on the most prominent trends shaping the APAC clinical trials landscape?
One of Lokavant’s earliest customers, CMIC Group – the largest CRO in Japan – taught us a lot about this unique part of the world.

Quantum Computing: Future of diagnostics is being coded today
A silent revolution is being built at the intersection of biology and quantum physics. After decades of pushing the boundaries of diagnostics with advanced imaging and AI, we are now approaching a hard computational wall. For complex conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and many cancers, the interacting variables of genomics, proteomics, and real-world patient data are simply too vast for classical computers to master. This limitation caps the ability to move from merely spotting correlations to uncovering true causation. Unlike traditional AI, quantum computing can simulate underlying physical systems to derive precise solutions. The transition from correlational analysis to causal simulation will enable a more valuable and advanced frontier in diagnostics.
