Pain Points

Iconic’s Case Intake Workflow

The process of recording adverse events involves accepting adverse event reports from various sources from around the world. These reports need to be triaged and categorized according to the product, the side effects and other pieces of information, such as dosage, in order to generate a case and, where relevant, make a regulatory submission. Automation can play a crucial role in reducing the time it takes to file a report. Starting with the initial file intake and preparation step, we can make use of file handlers and optical character recognition to get text into machine-readable format. Then, of course, high-quality adapted Neural MT can be deployed to homogenize reports into English for rapid processing. After that, various AI, machine learning and NLP methods can be used to automate document classification, detect specific entities, extract information for case generation and summarization.

Iconic’s cutting edge technology solution for Pharmacovigilance enables the rapid processing of large volumes of foreign language adverse event reports, which is essential to limiting the risk of missing strict regulatory filing deadlines and subsequent fines. Our automation process, integrated throughout the Case Intake workflow, centralises the workflow, allowing for input harmonization and increased efficiencies, and processes files in a single language. This process reduces outsourcing costs and internal overheads related to vendor engagement.
