Oliver Wyman provides leading health and life science companies with consulting services across six core areas: health insurance, health care services, health enterprise risk assessment and management, pharmaceuticals, biotech, and medical devices. An “outside-in” customer-centric approach yields actionable plans and proven results for our clients.


Medical Devices and Drug Delivery

Understanding novel drug delivery technologies is key to unlocking the potential of both large- and small-molecule therapeutics. We help companies understand the markets, customers and partners for growth in this area, and provide expertise in the development and commercialization of these new technologies and products.

Oliver Wyman conducts technical evaluations to support the development and growth of biotechnology companies, where identifying, evaluating and selecting the appropriate technology, license or partner is often key to success. In addition to providing assessment services, our firm provides strategic insight for long-term growth.
