Trends in Pharmaceutical Data Science – A Brief Look at Internally Structured Data in Medical Device Development
Pharmaceutical and medical device companies benefit from using a structured approach to data items, connections between data items, and data containers. Working with data that is internally structured reduces the time needed to create submission reports, eliminates the manual verification of large data tables, and ensures the creation of submission deliverables with no technical errors.
Leading medical device manufacturers have employed internal structure with data items, and connections between data items, in their product development processes to support initial health authority submissions and ongoing product lifecycle management. This article highlights some areas where the pharmaceutical industry may find inspiration from the device industry.
