Oracle Empirica Signal upgraded to 9.2

ClinSkill completed its upgrade to Oracle Empirica Signal 9.2, introducing enhanced browser compatibility, an updated user interface, new analytics and reporting capabilities, workflow improvements, and additional functionality for pharmacovigilance signal detection and management.

Today we announce that we have completed our upgrade to Oracle Empirica Signal latest version 9.2 which brings with it new features, improved cross borrower compatibility as well as support for new regulations and new ways to identify and manage signals in pharmacovigilance.

Nuances of Oracle Empirica Signal 7.3.3

One of the nuances of Empirica Signal 7.3.3 was the limited support for browsers as it only supported Internet Explorer 11. There were couple of problems with using this version:

1. Most learners use Windows 10 which comes with Internet Explorer Edge as default which was not supported by Empirica Signal 7.3.3
2. It required tinkering with compatibility mode and settings to make it work with Internet Explorer 11
3. Most users have adopted Google Chrome which did not support Empirica Signal 7.3.3
4. Empirica Signal 7.3.3 was not updated with recent regulations

With the upgrade to Oracle Empirica Signal 9.2, these limitations were addressed through improved browser compatibility, an updated technology platform, user interface enhancements, and additional functionality for signal detection and management.

User Interface Enhancements in Oracle Empirica Signal

Oracle Empirica Signal 9.2 is completely revamped in terms of the backend on which it runs and the user interface. It now runs on Oracle Linux operating system and Oracle 19c database whereas previous version Empirical 7 ran on windows and Oracle 12c database.

The user interface has been completely revamped allowing for a cleaner look that allows better focus on the operational tasks and has the Signal Review as the front and centre of the application. The configuration of the application has also been reimagined making administrative tasks simpler and intuitive.

Here are some of the enhanced features of the newly deployed Oracle Empirica Signal version 9.2:

Empirica Signal Analytics and Reporting

• Oracle Analytics has replaced Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher. In addition to Oracle Analytics, Oracle Data Visualization and Publisher reporting options have been added.
• The Argus Mart integration via database links provides a lighter/more flexible connection.
• Optional customer-specific reporting is supported.

Topic Management in Empirica Signal

• New action types and template enhancements increase efficiency and standardization.
• Explicit approver roles and approval of topic state transitions manage critical decisions.
• Topic Workflow Configuration administration has been improved.

Empirica Signal Detection and Management

• A new product-event combinations Detail panel provides information about recent alerts, comments, graphs, and associated topics. You can review details in one place for each selected combination to process potential signals.
• Best-practice configurations for Vigibase, VAERS, and JADER have been added.

Browser Compatibility in Empirica Signal

Oracle Empirica Signal 9.2 supports modern web browsers, including Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, providing improved browser compatibility compared with the earlier 7.3.3 environment.

• Google^® Chrome (latest public version)
• Microsoft^® Edge (version 88 or later)
