Program Details

The long-awaited EU IVDR deadline is approaching, and with it comes a much greater burden on diagnostics companies, particularly an 80-90% increase in Notified Body (NB) review.  Literature search is a primary means of establishing clinical evidence, however, is a laborious task conducted by premium resources (MDs, PhDs), which, even at maximum productivity, can usually only review 20-25% of available literature.

Against this backdrop is the sheer increase in available data to review. No longer are a handful of primary journals considered. The universe of peer-reviewed content has increased dramatically in recent years not only in all major geographical hubs but all over the world.  It is an abundance of research.  But also, a daunting challenge for manual review.  Arguably, as digital data increases, long standing traditional approaches, i.e., manual reviews, will be increasingly challenged.

Language Intelligence, an aspect of Artificial Intelligence (AI) known as Natural Language Processing (NLP), is a solution that quickly and easily reviews 100% of the literature, eliminating the laborious aspects of literature, allowing the MD/PhD to analyze the results.
