Introduction to Signal Detection and Data Mining

Perspectiva general

This introductory training course will review approaches to the implementation of signal detection and data mining as part of your pharmacovigilance operations. The requirement for companies to perform signal detection is mandatory in Europe and highly recommended in the US. Many simple techniques can be applied to the generation and review of potential signals, which can also be augmented by the application of sophisticated data mining algorithms.

Topics discussed will include signal identification and assessment, application of available regulatory guidance documents, review of data visualization tools to facilitate signal detection and evaluation, and the use of EU GVP Module IX to structure and organize a signal management process.
