Session Chair(s)
Rie Matsui, RPh
Senior Director, Regional Labeling Head for APAC, Pfizer R&D Japan G.K., Japan
Digitalized product information, part of the evolving global movement toward digitalization of healthcare, can improve health literacy for patients and enable patients to choose their own healthcare more proactively. Per the revised regulation for labeling implemented in April 2019, XML conversion has been required for labeling information in Japan. XML converted labeling, already implemented in the US, is the backbone of digitalized product information; other western countries have also started to consider XML conversion of labeling. This session will look ahead to the future of digital health by comparing these initiatives in Japan, the US, and the EU, and discussing utilization of digitalized product information/labeling issued by regulatory authorities and companies for patients and healthcare
