This session will examine current challenges to the use of digital approaches to risk minimization, and explore opportunities for overcoming them to facilitate their wider adoption. Challenges and opportunities will be assessed from the perspectives of 1) regulators, including representatives from both the US and the European regulatory authorities; 2) industry sponsors at the global headquarters who plan the risk minimization strategy; and, 3) local safety officers who are responsible for coordinating the implementation of the risk minimization measures, typically in conjunction with healthcare professionals at the local country level.
Learning Objective : Describe the state of the art in terms of the use of digital approaches for therapeutic risk minimization purposes; Discuss challenges and constraints faced by sponsors and regulators in terms of adopting digital approaches to risk minimization; Identify at least two steps that can be taken to further advance adoption of digital technologies for risk minimization purposes.
