On January 3rd, Mizuho Securities American healthcare sector strategist Jared Holtz appeared on CNBC's “Squawk on the Street” on the 2025 healthcare sector outlook. In 2025, “It was a very bad thing, maybe it's a good thing.”
Holtz further said that the healthcare department will present a disaster as there isn't much simple space in the domain.

However, Holtz said the industry has not actually seen the positive impact of AI adoption in the sector. Several clinical trials employing AI have recently failed.

Therefore, while behind the scenes science and technology appears to be getting better, it does not necessarily lead to better drug development and improved approval rates. He expects that AI use could lead to better outcomes in the future, but Holtz will make the generalization that AI epidemics will lead to better outcomes for Biotech or Pharma, at least in the near future. I think it's too early.
