Patient-Centric Pharmacovigilance: Development of a Mobile Application for Direct Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting.

The increasing prevalence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) poses a significant threat to public health, while underreporting remains a major limitation of existing pharmacovigilance systems. This paper presents the development of a mobile application, designed to facilitate direct, timely, and structured reporting of ADRs by patients and healthcare professionals.
The application features a user-friendly interface, standardizes ADR reporting forms, and secures data storage to ensure data integrity and confidentiality.
The application aims to improve accessibility, reduces reporting barriers, and enhances patient participation in pharmacovigilance. By empowering patients to report ADRs, we seek to improve drug safety and healthcare outcomes.
The ADR Reporter app demonstrates potential in bridging gaps in existing pharmacovigilance systems, promoting a scalable and patient-centric approach to medication safety, with future potential for integration into national ADR monitoring frameworks.
