Fixed business rules and automation have created more accuracy for quality and regulatory compliance in the pharmacovigilance space.
And as the Internet of Things continues to make headlines, we see prototypes and sensors that may soon be able to track when patients take their medications, or the development of portable health monitoring devices that will enable a healthier lifestyle.
