INTIENT
Pharmacovigilance
Enables pre-processing of all types of
machine-readable source documents to
generate well-formed and high quality
E2B output for import into an enterprise
safety system such as Argus Safety
Extracts case data from structured and
unstructured sources, and assesses the
priority, seriousness, expectedness and
causality based on cognitive inference
and with a confidence score for each field
Delivers proven technology, as the
platform is currently on its third GA release
and is governed by a validated system
development lifecycle, and is therefore
ready for implementation now
