AdverseEvent’s proprietary algorithm, which took 18 months to build, takes into account data from the FDA, direct patient reporting, and even information from social media sites (AdverseEvents analysts are alerted to side effect discussions on patient discussion boards, for example, and try to extract data). AdverseEvents also has an internal alert system, so that the company can track potentially dangerous side effects and alert the FDA if necessary. less
