Artificial Intelligence and Its Role in Vaccine Efficacy and Pharmacovigilance

The challenge of pharmacovigilance is to interpret large amounts of data to quickly and reliably detect safety signals that require escalation and triage, and artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to achieve surveillance with efficient utilization of resources. This episode will explore how AI and machine learning can help improve pharmacovigilance as we know it.
