Patient-Centric Approaches in Drug Safety Monitoring: Empowering Patients for Safer Therapeutics

Authors: Dr. Priya Nair, Mr. Rohan Deshmukh

ABSTRACT: Patient-centric approaches in drug safety monitoring prioritize the involvement of patients in reporting adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and participating in pharmacovigilance activities. Recognizing patients as active stakeholders enhances the detection of drug-related risks and improves therapeutic outcomes. This paper explores the principles, methodologies, benefits, and challenges of patient-centric pharmacovigilance, emphasizing the integration of digital technologies, mobile applications, and real-world evidence. Tables summarizing patient engagement tools and reporting metrics are included. Implementing patient-focused strategies strengthens drug safety monitoring, enhances regulatory decision-making, and promotes patient empowerment in healthcare.
