3. Staying ahead with Regulatory Technology
The COVID-19 crisis and the ongoing approval processes, for prospective drugs and vaccines, have elevated the need for advancements in regulatory technology. One of the biggest focus areas in recent years has been in utilizing advance data management and analytics solutions to remain both audit ready and compliant.
We specialize in providing application infrastructure for regulatory, content management, quality, track & trace, serialization, and business intelligence. Global standards are adopted and institutionalized across all services covering ISO, GAMP5, GxP and 21-CFR Part 11 compliance needs. These alignments ensure that the product or services offered are in line with the statutory requirements of all regulatory bodies.
4. Augmenting Pharmacovigilance using advanced technology
Recent advancements in AI and automation have had a significant impact on drug discovery as well as in the post marketing phases in a drug’s lifecycle. Advanced pharmacovigilance technology tools help in better retrieval reporting and data visualization for improved signal detection as well as in risk management.
Divergent regulatory requirements, an ever-increasing volume of data from traditional as well as new age sources, and the need to mine large data sets are all challenges biopharmaceutical companies face to ensure patient safety and effectively manage unintended drug effects. Advanced technology is used in the dynamic pharmacovigilance systems for intelligent processing of the information, ensuring regulatory compliance.
