PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: psiQ – stay ahead with real-time regulatory intelligence
Did you know that psiXchange now offers real-time, in-platform regulatory intelligence monitoring?
psiQ is a brand-new feature of the psiXchange platform that enables PV teams to access up-to-date and accurate regulatory information for 40 key countries (soon to be expanded to over 130). Harnessing the PharmaLex global team’s expert knowledge of local laws on the ground, psiQ ensures that your PV submissions team are always fully up-to-speed with the current regulatory requirements.
While most databases rely on regular reviews at set intervals, psiQ’s suite of real-time automated monitoring tools rolls out immediate updates so that users always have access to the most current and detailed information on what needs to be reported where and to whom.
What’s more, psiQ doesn’t just provide the raw source data – it interprets the latest updates to deliver clear, actionable information every time. To find out more about the benefits of psiQ and to request a demo, just get in touch with our team.
EVENT REVIEW: World Drug Safety Congress Europe (4th – 5th October 2023, Amsterdam)
Cheryl James (Director of Safety Analytics for PharmaLex) and Iain Barnden (PV Business Partner - Digital Automation) pictured at the PharmaLex stand at World Drug Safety Congress Europe in Amsterdam.
We were delighted to join industry colleagues in Amsterdam last week for one of the highlights of the PV calendar – World Drug Safety Congress Europe.
Our stand was bustling throughout the event, as our senior team shared with delegates the gains of automating and optimising business-critical PV processes. Uptake of our live demos was high, with attendees keen to explore our industry-leading psiXchange solution for intelligent automated safety document distribution, plus enjoy an expert introduction to rapidLIVE - our accelerated pre-packaged implementation for Oracle Argus.
At the conference, discussion of AI and automation dominated the agenda on case processing topics. PharmaLex's Iain Barnden (PV Business Partner - Digital Automation) delivered a well-attended presentation that offered unique insights into how organisations can manage safety reporting complexity at scale through intelligent automation – including how even simple automations can lead to major efficiency gains in case processing, document distribution, literature surveillance and more.
Thanks to everyone who came by our booth and, if you missed us at the show, just email iain.barnden@pharmalex.com to request a meeting or an online demo for your team.
