Original Abstract Submitted
High cost of biotherapy drug makes it unaffordable for patients to seek treatments. Further, access to information related to new low-cost alternatives like Biosimilars and Interchangeable may not be available with the physician at the time of consultation. Most of the conventional approaches aims to select an alternative biosimilar for a reference drug without considering patient's information. The present disclosure recommends a list of low-cost alternatives to high-cost reference drugs thereby enabling the physician to get timely and updated information on development of Biosimilars. The solution leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology to extract known adverse events for a reference drug and a relative scoring based technique to identify and optimum alternative to prescribed biologics. The capability of the solution is further extended to identify secondary adverse events due to multiple drugs, thereby providing a clinical decision support system to help physicians take an informed decision.
