  • Signal Detection Algorithms to Identify Drug Effects and Drug Interactions
    Publication number: 20130179375
    Abstract: An algorithm according to an embodiment of the present invention provides for latent signal detection of adverse events. Embodiments infer the presence of adverse drug events from large observational databases housed by the FDA, WHO, and other governmental organizations. The disclosed algorithms do not require the adverse event to be reported explicitly. Instead, the algorithms infer the presence of adverse events through more common secondary effects. In an embodiment, machine learning techniques are used for this purpose.
