June 11: Dr. Henry Francis, M.D., FDA: Real-time Applications for Programmable Interactive Devices (RAPID) System for National Emergencies
RAPID Stage is a real time surveillance system which will allow FDA to collect adverse events (AE) on emergency use of any FDA approved medical product during emergent health situations through mobile devices, or EHR information transmission systems. FDA will use cloud based, integrated tools and decision strategies to analyze, validate received and visualized AE reporting on regulatory dashboard and transmit public health information directly to healthcare professionals and organizations within 24 hours.
