Automation, and its big brother AI, have been hot topics in Pharmacovigilance for several years now, with the promise that between them, they will do almost anything and everything to reduce manual processes. So, if that’s the case, there should be almost universal adoption within the industry.

For Dr. John Price, his experience as a consultant for clients around the world is that there has in fact been very little uptake of these next-generation tech solutions for case intake, considering the improvements to data quality and efficiency that they should bring.

Why is that? What are the barriers that might prevent or delay adoption? As an advisory Board member for Consultant Services provider Arriello, who also provide an automated case-intake solution, finding out more about this has been of interest to both sides. So, in June 2020, Arriello commissioned a US/UK survey of 200 PV professionals to ask some key questions around the topic of case intake automation and adjacent PV activities to get an up-to-date snapshot of current sentiment.
