Hitachi Social Information Services Implements Drug Safety Information Search and Viewing System for Kaken Pharmaceutical

Hitachi Social Information Services, Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo; President: Takayoshi Kitagawa) has built a system for Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Kaken Pharmaceutical") that allows healthcare professionals to search and view drug safety information in a timely manner. Previously, when healthcare professionals needed information regarding drug safety, they often had to contact a pharmaceutical company's MR (Medical Representative), which was time-consuming. With the introduction of this system, they can now directly search and view the necessary side effect information (such as case counts, onset timing, and outcomes) from the medical front line, enabling a rapid response to the needs of healthcare providers.

Features of the System ・Realizing operational advancement through the integration and visualization of various data Healthcare professionals can now quickly grasp safety information, which can be used to assist in prescription decisions.

・Realizing timely analysis in the field through intuitive operation The system provides intuitive operability and timely information delivery so that healthcare professionals can check information immediately on-site. This also contributes to strengthening relationships of trust with healthcare professionals.

・Ability to search for safety information using various criteria Users can set a wide range of search conditions, such as searching by product, side effect, or patient information, and filtering data via graphs.

Endorsement from the Safety Information Department, Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. With the introduction of this system, we are now able to provide the latest side effect information to healthcare professionals promptly. We hope that this service will assist healthcare professionals in their daily clinical practice. Future Initiatives Hitachi Social Information Services will continue to expand the functions of this service with an eye toward deployment to other pharmaceutical companies and strengthening collaboration with medical institutions.
