Week 2 - MBA 6101 - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Application in Safety Oversight for Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are crucial for the development and approval of new medical treatments and drugs. However, ensuring the safety of the participants is of utmost importance. This is where the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can play a significant role. These technologies can help streamline the safety oversight process and make it more effective, thereby improving the overall quality of clinical trials.

Here are some of the key applications of AI and ML in safety oversight for clinical trials:

1.  Adverse Event Monitoring: AI algorithms can be trained to detect and identify adverse events that occur during a clinical trial. The algorithms can analyze large amounts of data quickly and accurately, which can help identify potential safety risks earlier and prevent adverse events from reoccurring.



2.  Predictive Modeling: AI algorithms can be used to develop predictive models that can help identify participants who are at higher risk of experiencing adverse events. This can help prioritize monitoring and intervention efforts, ensuring that high-risk participants receive the necessary care and attention.



3.  Safety Data Integration: AI and ML can be used to integrate data from multiple sources and create a unified safety database. This can help simplify the process of collecting and analyzing safety data and improve the accuracy of safety information.



4.  Data Visualization: AI and ML algorithms can be used to create visual representations of safety data, making it easier for safety teams to identify patterns and trends in the data. This can help inform decision-making and improve the overall safety of clinical trials.



5.  Risk Management: AI algorithms can be used to identify and prioritize safety risks, and develop strategies for managing these risks. This can help ensure that resources are allocated effectively and that clinical trials remain safe for participants.

In conclusion, the use of AI and ML in safety oversight for clinical trials has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach safety in clinical trials. By streamlining the safety monitoring process, improving the accuracy of safety information, and making it easier to identify safety risks, these technologies can help ensure that clinical trials are safe and effective for all participants.

Week 4 - MBA 6101 - A Marketing Plan: The Cornerstone of Your Success

According to Guerilla Marketing  by Jay Conrad Levinson, a good marketing plan can be the difference between success and failure for a business. He suggests that an entrepreneur put together their market plan before ever selling their first product or providing service for the first time. A marketing plan should be simple and straightforward, it will help define the identity of a business and how the company will interact with customers. The first step is to answer the below seven questions to develop a marketing plan to guide your business strategy. What is the purpose of marketing your product or service? Why should customers choose your product or services? Who is your target audience? What marketing tools will you use to meet your purpose? Where do you fit in within the market? How do you want customers to see or identify your company? How much are you willing to invest in your marketing plan? For instance, if you were looking to start consulting for a pharmaceutical...

Week 7 - MBA 6101 - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Impacts on the Pharmaceutical Industry

Health IT Analytics posted the article  ChatGPT Passes US Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) Without Clinician Input  in February of this year. With this news, questions arose in my mind about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) may impact the job market of the pharmaceutical industry. While the artificial intelligence tool scored only 60% accuracy on the exam, it does beg the question will clinicians soon no longer be required for safety data review and analysis in clinical trials or pharmacovigilance? In my own experience, medical decisions surrounding pharmaceuticals requires the ability to critically think about the reported data and understand the medical impact that may be had. This can be made difficult by poor data entry by the primary investigator delivering medical care the the subjects on the clinical trial. It can also require extensive knowledge of the pharmacokinetics of the drug under study. For this reason, I do not think we all need to ...
