Abstract
Enterprise architecture (EA) is useful for effectively structuring digital platforms with digital transformation in information societies. Moreover, digital platforms in the healthcare industry accelerate and increase the efficiency of drug discovery and development processes. However, there is the lack of knowledge concerning relationships between EA and digital platforms, in spite of the needs of it. In this paper, we investigated and analyzed the process of drug design and development within the healthcare industry, together with related work in using an enterprise architecture framework for the digital era named the Adaptive Integrated Digital Architecture Framework (AIDAF), specifically supporting the design of digital platforms there. Based on this analysis, we evaluate a method and propose a new reference architecture for promoting digital platforms in the healthcare industry, with future specific aspects of them making effective use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The practical and theoretical contributions include: (1) Streamlined processes through digital platforms in organizations. (2) Informal knowledge supply and sharing among organizational members through digital platforms. (3) Efficiency and effectiveness in planning production and business for drug development. The findings indicate that EA with digital platforms using the AIDAF contribute to digital transformation with effectiveness for new drugs in the healthcare industry.

Summary
We consider new enhancements of business structure and process efficiency using digital platforms such as portals and social networking services (SNSs) among corporations in healthcare industries. We expect the use of these digital platforms for drug discovery and development processes in pharmaceutical companies at the forefront of the recent utilization of digital IT technologies. How to properly use these digital platforms for drug discovery and development processes within pharmaceutical companies is still not well understood. The enterprises and information societies in healthcare industries have confronted various changes, such as globalization, shifts in customer needs, and new business models with emerging technologies, whose significant changes due to recent developments in cloud computing, mobile IT, and big data technology have appeared as new information technology trends. Aforementioned technologies making advances and related iations
