AI and the Future of Pharmacovigilance
Today’s data explosion is forcing pharmacovigilance professionals to use artificial intelligence technologies to get answers in a more proactive way. “Just putting 100 more people in a room and trying to look at documents and bounce ideas off of each other’s head isn’t going to work anymore,” says Bruce Donzanti, former Senior Group Director, Global Regulatory Pharmacovigilance Innovation Policy at Genentech.
Donzanti joins the podcast for a lively discussion about the evolution of pharmacovigilance and how pharma companies and health authorities are working together to advance the future of safety science.
In this episode of Safety Signals, we discuss:
– How AI has become a necessity, not just a nice-to-have
– How human biases have plagued the industry for decades
– The quest for rapid access to quality data
