QCast: Data-Driven Dialogue in Drug Development
Episode 12: AI and Automation in Clinical Data Management
In this QCast episode, Jullia and Tom explain how AI and automation make clinical data work smoother from smarter screening and electronic consent to streaming device data, auto-summarising notes, targeted monitoring, and faster reports. They outline the basics for linking core trial systems, clarify what regulators expect on validation and audit trails, and share a simple first-year plan with quick wins and common traps to avoid.
Key Takeaways
- Start small with a high-value workflow, define success measures, and scale proven patterns.
- Automation standardises execution; AI prioritises attention—together they surface issues earlier and speed decisions.
- Interoperability and governance matter most: integrate core systems, enforce role-based access, encryption, and complete audit trails.
- Quick wins include NLP-assisted coding and simple RBM rules; benchmark against a baseline to show impact.
- Treat models like regulated components: document purpose and training data, validate performance, monitor over time, and revalidate when processes change.
