The application of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming ubiquitous in our daily lives. Throughout the course of a typical day, one uses a variety of applications and devices that automatically understand what is spoken and provide near real-time feedback to support decision-making at an unprecedented scale. The question being asked now is how can Machine Learning (ML), one of a number of AI techniques, be used in the clinical development space, and, does it hold any...

Over the last few years we have all been inundated with the concepts of Big Data. There are 6,000 tweets from Twitter every second. Facebook stores 30 petabytes of user data. A Boeing Dreamliner generates one terabyte per flight. A Formula One car generates three terabytes in one race. Now we know why it’s called “big data”. In Health Sciences, big data is seen in a number of forms, such as the human genome (typically a few gigabytes per person, sequenced today at a cost of...

Innovation comes in many shapes and sizes from a unique user experience to game changing, disruptive, enterprise process changes. Innovation is something that's great to experience and deliver. It’s often detected by an initial emotional response typically triggered by some visual stimulus (or claim), which is somehow instantaneously converted to a real or perceived benefit. Conversely, innovation can become quickly blurred by hype, distracting us from the actual, realizable...

Today, real world data is becoming a key type of support, not only for pharmaceutical companies, but also for payer institutions. This kind of real world evidence enables both pharmas and payers to understand how drug products are actually working for patients in the real world. For years, pharma companies have been buying data from many different sources to endorse the value of their drugs in the market. Recently instead, payers have been demanding that drug companies...

The safety and pharmacovigilance landscape is changingrapidly. New global standards forregulatory reporting – E2B(R3), eVAERS, eMDR, and IDMP – represent some of themost significant changes that the industry has seen in over a decade. Notsurprisingly, implementing them requires planning and preparation from both safetyand IT organizations. Global vs. RegionalRequirements The new standards are adapted to the modern needs ofregulators and industry, as they offer better...

Do you remember the old paper case report form (CRF)? Iremember working on an oncology trial. It was ‘massive’. It was massive becausethe CRF was 300 pages long, in a binder you could barely lift with one hand, andthere were 300 subjects. Let’s say, on average, there were 30 fields per page, whichwould equate to about three million data points collected over a five yearclinical trial. We thought of this as a large trial, and yet from a dataperspective, it could easily be...

Reformed accountant alert! Decades ago, I studied to be an accountant. Why? Because my Alma Mater told me to be a good healthcare administrator, Ineeded to have a financial/numbers training. I could pick Economics, Finance orAccounting. I called my family and adultfriends for advice. (Those in the samplegroup were all CPAs.) And, surprise, theirunanimous opinion was for me to major in Accounting. I survived after four and one half years. I still have thethird edition of Keso...
