Abstract

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, and the large amount of pharmacovigilance-related data stored in an electronic manner, data-driven automatic methods need to be urgently applied to all aspects of pharmacovigilance to assist healthcare professionals. However, the quantity and quality of data directly affect the performance of AI, and there are particular challenges to implementing AI in limited-resource settings. Analyzing challenges and solutions for AI-based pharmacovigilance in resource-limited settings can improve pharmacovigilance frameworks and capabilities in these settings. In this review, we summarize the challenges into four categories: establishing a database for an AI-based pharmacovigilance system, lack of human resources, weak AI technology and insufficient government support. This study also discusses possible solutions and future perspectives on AI-based pharmacovigilance in resource-limited settings.
