Employing bibliometrics and natural language processing (NLP) to analyse real-world applications of adverse drug reaction
The study highlights the transformative role of digital solutions in pharmacovigilance, demonstrating the potential of ADR applications to enhance reporting accuracy and improve patient safety. However, adoption remains early-stage and fragmented by regional affiliations. Future research should focus on patient-centric app development, effectiveness assessment, and fostering global collaboration. Strengthening digital literacy and robust investment in ADR reporting applications is crucial for optimizing their impact in healthcare.
