Drug Safety Leaders Talk about SafeTEC

 

To streamline and accelerate new technology evaluation and validation for the industry, as well as for technology providers and scientists, the SafeTEC™ core members (see video) have outlined the critical points on why the industry’s drug safety experts should join SafeTEC. The opportunity is to provide SafeTEC members with a coordinated function which accelerates and improves technology evaluation.

SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS:

The infrastructure, resources, project management, and processes that are part of SafeTEC (through One Million Solutions in Health) are fundamentally creating a warehouse of technology solutions, coupled with an industry-driven system, to collaboratively move the technology through identification, evaluation, modification and validation — to utilization (or not).

Overall:

The SafeTEC Consortium has been re-formed, based on an eleven-year history which provides the experience and rigorous methodology, along with expanded and unparalleled technology sources, to identify and evaluate new technology opportunities.

The SafeTEC™ key differentiators are:

– Technology evaluation and validation: beyond basic research

– 11 years of experience and history – with 40 Validation Projects and 100’s of evaluations – based on a proven process and methodology

– Preparing Guidance Documents for the vendor and scientific community

 

– Flow of opportunities through untapped sources – we can find and assess “The Hidden GEMS”

– One-of-a-kind partnership agreement with the NIH Office of Technology Transfer, providing a flow of new technology and new patents, beyond those currently being promoted

– Access to a network of 4000 universities in 160 countries – and their technology

– Our own extensive database in life sciences and health care

– Curated database where we curate serious science, catalogue and index it to make it searchable, providing regular updates to ensure you have important information at your fingertips

 

– Vendor/scientist coaching and readiness

– Coaching of vendors/scientists to improve and accelerate the process

– We regularly coach scientists who then share their science, providing us with extensive experience in ensuring the science is industry-applicable

– The choice of projects is driven by the SafeTEC consortium pre-vetting the science for usability and scalability

– We have developed Guidance Documents which provide a baseline assessment mechanism, to ensure the most applicable opportunities are moved forward
