Three new innovations in drug development and health monitoring could help to meet this challenge. These innovations are:

* Electronic medical records, which are increasingly being used to store patient data and are a valuable resource for scientists;

* Informatics: computer-based statistical tools that can analyse data from medical records and other sources, such as academic studies and even social media, to pick out hidden trends in adverse drug reactions;

* Personalised medicine, in which genetic information is used to target drugs at very specific patient populations.
