India’s first own android app to report adverse reactions

The Indian pharmacopeia commission (IPC) has developed an android based application for reporting adverse drug reactions. The app under the name PVPI ADR would facilitate auto filling of data with easy attachments of source documents/ image files comprising of laboratory test reports etc. and would generate XML files, facilitating E2B submissions. The app could be easily used by both health care professionals and consumers.

Under the ‘Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana’ a Skill development programme was organized where by , the IPC , National coordinating centre- Pharmacovigilance programme of India (NCC PvPI) under the Union Health Ministry have trained 300 physicians and pharmacist.

India is transcending as one of the nations with robust pharmacovigilance and patient safety systems.

We at Think I are also driven to produce Pharmacovigilance safety database solutions using cloud based technology which are not only cost effective and user friendly but also fully validated for quick, easy import, entry and electronic submissions of adverse event.

Chat Bot- the first artificial intelligence bot in Pharmacovigilance

Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD) Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc has developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) chat bot. The MSD Salute chat bot is designed to aid physicians in providing product information and pathology. The Physicians who are registered with MSD would use the Chat bot using facebook messenger. Chat bot is derived from the social media and uses machine learning and implements feedback to develop interactions. Currently MSD is monitoring and not filtering the communication between Chat bot and users, as they want to analyse the open ended exchanges between the AI and the users. Chat bot currently in the testing phase, is said augment patient safety through proactive pharmacovigilance . We at Think I are also driven to produce Pharmacovigilance safety database solutions using cloud based technology which are not only cost effective and user friendly but also fully validated for quick, easy import, entry and electronic submissions of adve

Pharmacovigilance system- Industry perspective, Market size and Operations

Monitoring adverse drug reaction is an essential component in patient safety. In the last decade we have seen how technology has influenced the entire healthcare system, leading to patient awareness, thus making the pharmaceutical companies and regulatory authorities to invest more time and resource in monitoring adverse events. Pharmacovigilance as per WHO is defined as the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problem Pharmacovigilance is the study of adverse events taking into account all the plausible relationship or untoward medical occurrence which the patent experienced after taking the drug and then using standard set of coordinated activities which involves first collecting adverse event reports either via telephone, email, social network, lay press , media. After adverse event reports are filed we then process and assess these reports in database to determine if indee

Artificial Intelligence Seeing through the lens of Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance as we know is a science with a set of pre defined functions to collect, analyse, monitor adverse event reports in understanding the safety profile of drug. The set pre defined functions would include case processing through data entry of adverse event forms into safety database, medical review, aggregate reporting, signal detection, risk evaluation and mitigation strategies. With patients awareness and regulatory compliance we may have seen a surge of adverse event data over last few years , resulting in the urgent need for the application of automation. Pharmacovigilance is the only discipline where in which timelines and quality data are evaluated on a benchmark of 100 % and a compromise in these two parameters are considered to be a zero tolerance. Automation of above pre defined function is possible through machine learning, which is an integral components of Artificial Intelligence. What is Artificial Intelligence ? Artificial intellig
