About

Scope of this online training is to enable participants to make informed decisions and plan/implement strategies on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in pharmacovigilance to manage the available pharmacovigilance information.

The course covers:

  • digital technologies from the regulatory framework to strategies, operational methods, and supporting technologies;
  • how to exploit the wealth of up-to-date structured and unstructured pharmacovigilance related information available (from traditional and innovative sources);
