Patient-centric social media for outcomes and pharmacovigilance consideration...Inspire
Through the use of de-identified Big Data from online patient forums open to healthcare providers, the pharmaceutical industry may glean useful insights into both the safety of existing products as well as future needs of patients. Post-marketing safety surveillance for pharmaceuticals currently relies on data from adverse event reports to companies or regulatory authorities, medical literature, and observational databases. Together these sources provide some insight into everyday product safety or risk, but the unique insight the patients themselves can offer is also highly desirable.
Using insights from a 2016 research project involving Inspire, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Pharmaceuticals, and Epidemico, an innovative informatics company, we are exploring the use of social listening data for pharmacovigilance and other R&D concerns. A core question is, “What valuable insights can we glean from social listening to help improve patients’ lives—whether through improved safety, more relevant clinical trials, or research and development of new treatment options?”

Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
