MedTech Breakthrough Recognizes Perficient with Award for Real-Time Pharmacovigilance Surveillance Solution, PV Hawk
LOS ANGELES, May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global health and medical technology market, today announced that Perficient, Inc.("Perficient"), a global digital consultancy transforming the world's largest enterprises and biggest brands, has been selected as the winner of the "Best Data Visualization Solution" award for its pharmacovigilance intelligence application, PV Hawk, in the fourth annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program.
Regulatory authorities worldwide have requirements in place for marketing authorization holders to monitor the safety and risk-benefit profile of their products for potential signals and trends, resulting in volumes of data that can make accurate analysis challenging. Perficient's PV Hawk allows pharmaceutical and medical device companies to quickly aggregate data in real time across all their safety surveillance practices. Data is displayed in a modern visual format (Hawk Visuals) for the surveillance of trends. Using PV Hawk, life science organizations can perform sophisticated risk-benefit analysis, compare same-in-class drugs used for similar indications, and analyze the impact a drug can have with other drug and disease interactions.
"We are thrilled to receive this 2020 MedTech Breakthrough Award in honor of the product innovation and success of the PV Hawk platform," said Dr. Kari Blaho-Owens, director of safety and pharmacovigilance, Perficient. "PV Hawk provides life sciences organizations with a tool to quickly and securely overcome their challenges with accurate data analysis while fulfilling the responsibility of patient safety."
PV Hawk is optimized to help life sciences organizations in all phases of clinical trials, including post-marketing surveillance, and is versatile enough to work across regulatory environments, such as animal health, nutraceuticals, and cosmetovigilance. Users have the option to license the product and use it on their own, or they can partner with Perficient to perform an analysis on an as-needed basis.
"Data analysis is essential when it comes to appreciating the impact of drugs and medical devices on one's health. Look no further than the race to develop or find a vaccine, treatment, and ultimately a cure for COVID-19," said Dr. Blaho-Owens. "With a data visualization tool like PV Hawk, any company can overlay its clinical and safety data with data from other sources, including the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), to perform a risk-benefit analysis and determine the potential efficacy of its current drugs for COVID-19."
"Across all industries, especially in life sciences, we increasingly see the need to analyze data more effectively," said James Johnson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. "PV Hawk demonstrates how potential trends can be presented through visualization without spending time running complex database queries or chasing false positives. We are proud to recognize PV Hawk as a 'breakthrough' in the data visualization space, and we look forward to continued innovation and success from Perficient."
