The Importance of Signal Detection in Drug Safety
In today’s world, ensuring the safety of medicinal products is more critical than ever. Pharmacovigilance—the science of monitoring, detecting, and preventing adverse effects—plays a vital role in safeguarding public health. At the heart of this field lies signal detection, a systematic approach to identifying and addressing potential drug safety concerns. But how do we transition from identifying signals to implementing real-world actions that protect patients?
