AI Transforms Pharmacovigilance Into Predictive Safety

Vikalp Khare, Director and Head of US GPV Safety Data Management, describes how AI and cloud automation are reshaping pharmacovigilance operations today. He outlines NLP-driven ICSR extraction, machine-learning signal detection across rising case volumes (FDA ICSRs rose from ~700,000 in 2010 to over 2.1 million today), and urges cloud integration, governance, and workforce upskilling to maintain compliance and patient safety.
Key Points
- 1Automates case intake and NLP extraction of ICSRs from diverse sources, reducing manual processing
- 2Enables pattern recognition and early signal detection across millions of reports, improving surveillance speed
- 3Requires cloud integration, governance, and staff upskilling to ensure compliant, interpretable AI-driven pharmacovigilance
Scoring Rationale
Strong industry relevance and actionable guidance, offset by limited novelty and opinion-based, single-source perspective reducing empirical evidence.
