- Automating highly manual processing tasks, translating and digitizing safety case processing and adverse drug reaction documents to make them more usable
- Discuss how optical character recognition (OCR), NLP and deep neural networks are being used to format this data
- Ultimately leading to faster assessment of subject, site and study risks
- Using AI to systematically evaluate the effect of different eligibility criteria on cancer trial populations and outcomes with real-world data
- Ultimately identifying a wider and more accurate pool of patients that could potentially benefit from treatments
- Facilitating the design of more inclusive trials while maintaining safeguards for patient safety
