AI & Automation for Pharma & Life Sciences Operations
Cognic builds GxP-compliant AI agents, clinical trial recruitment automation, pharmacovigilance adverse event extraction, regulatory submission document AI, and custom laboratory software to accelerate drug development, streamline trials, and maintain FDA 21 CFR Part 11 validation.
Life Sciences Operations Face Extreme Regulatory and Data Complexity
Pharmaceutical companies, biotech innovators, and Contract Research Organizations (CROs) operate under the world’s most stringent regulatory frameworks. Bringing therapies to market requires managing clinical trial protocols across global study sites, screening adverse events from vast literature and patient reports, validating electronic batch production records, and compiling multi-thousand-page eCTD regulatory dossiers. Manual administrative bottlenecks inflate R&D timelines and introduce compliance risks. Cognic engineers secure, GxP-validated AI software and automation to streamline these critical operational workflows.
Matching diverse patient eligibility criteria against complex clinical protocols takes months, leading to delayed site activations and trial extensions.
Reviewing thousands of adverse event reports across spontaneous forms, medical journals, and call centers for ICH E2B reporting creates immense backlogs.
Manually verifying deviation notes, equipment calibration logs, and analytical test results across multi-page manufacturing batch records delays lot release.
Aggregating preclinical, clinical, and CMC data into compliant eCTD submission modules across global health authorities (FDA, EMA, PMDA) consumes thousands of scientist hours.
Enterprise AI Solutions Built for Pharma & Life Sciences
We build FDA 21 CFR Part 11 validated AI systems, intelligent clinical trial pipelines, and workflow automation tailored for pharmaceutical enterprises, biotech startups, and CROs.
Clinical Trial Patient Matching & Site Agents
AI agents that parse unstructured EHR records against complex clinical trial inclusion and exclusion criteria to identify eligible patient cohorts quickly.
Pharmacovigilance & Adverse Event Document AI
Automated extraction of suspect drugs, adverse events, patient demographics, and causality scores from safety forms and literature to draft MedDRA-coded safety cases.
Electronic Batch Record (eBR) Review Automation
Intelligent review pipelines that cross-check completed batch manufacturing records, identify deviation discrepancies, and highlight exceptions for Quality Assurance release.
Regulatory eCTD & Scientific Dossier RAG
Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems indexing clinical study reports, investigator brochures, and assay data to draft standard sections of regulatory filings.
Clinical Patient Engagement & Diary Voice AI
HIPAA-compliant conversational voice agents collecting patient-reported outcomes (ePRO), medication adherence check-ins, and study visit reminders.
Custom LIMS & Life Sciences Software
Bespoke laboratory information management systems (LIMS), EDC system connectors, sample tracking applications, and analytical data visualization platforms.
Where Pharma Operations Deploy AI & Automation
Extracting trial schedules, biospecimen collection timing, and dosage escalation steps from multi-page PDF study protocols into structured EDC study builds.
Continuously scanning PubMed, PMC, and scientific journals to detect off-label use, drug interactions, and adverse events for safety surveillance compliance.
Machine learning algorithms identifying micro-variations and baseline drift in high-throughput chromatography and mass spectrometry runs before testing fails.
Automating remote patient consent workflows, digital diary submission tracking, and localized laboratory kit delivery across decentralized trial sites.
Analyzing accelerated temperature, humidity, and chemical degradation data to forecast shelf-life expiration dates and optimize formulation packaging.
AI agents tracking daily guidance updates and Pharmacopeial monograph changes across the FDA, EMA, MHRA, and PMDA to flag internal SOP revisions.
Automated inspection of eTMF document repositories to identify missing investigator credentials, expired CVs, and outdated 1572 regulatory filings.
Conversational assistant triaging scientific inquiries from healthcare professionals, retrieving verified medical answers from approved product label dossiers.

FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance & GxP Validation
Electronic Signatures & Part 11
Compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 requirements for cryptographically verifiable, timestamped digital signatures.
GxP Computer System Validation (CSV)
Delivered with complete GAMP 5 validation packages: User Requirements (URS), Functional Specs (FS), and IQ/OQ/PQ test scripts.
Isolated Private VPC Hosting
Deployable on dedicated private cloud instances with strict tenant isolation, zero multi-tenant data contamination, and encrypted storage.
Immutable Audit Trail
Automated, non-editable audit trail recording the date, time, user, prior value, and reason for change on all critical data points.
Data Integrity & ALCOA+ Alignment
System architecture enforces Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, and Accurate (ALCOA+) data integrity principles.
Mandatory Qualified Person Review
All adverse event reports and batch release decisions require explicit sign-off by qualified medical doctors and QA personnel.
Human-in-the-Loop AI for Pharma
In drug development and patient safety, compliance is absolute. Our AI automates data collection, extracts clinical findings, and highlights deviations, but certified medical officers and Quality Assurance heads make all final regulatory and release determinations.
Pharma Automation in Practice
Illustrative operational metrics — representative outcomes.
Automated Pharmacovigilance Case Processing & MedDRA Coding
Problem: A mid-sized biopharma company faced a 300% surge in adverse event reports during a global post-market surveillance campaign, resulting in processing backlogs and risking regulatory reporting compliance deadlines. Solution: Cognic engineered a GxP-validated adverse event extraction and coding workflow that ingests safety emails, PDFs, and call center logs, automatically identifying patient demographics, suspect products, adverse reaction terms, and suggested MedDRA codes for safety physician review.
