Deploying AI for generation and deployment within Roche’s Quality Programs
Everyone talks about AI, but few are showing production use cases in Quality Management. In this session, Roche shares a practical look at their strategy for integrating GenAI into the Quality workflow. We will discuss the methodology behind using AI to enhance Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM) and how we are leveraging unstructured data—like historical scribe notes—to modernize inspection readiness.
- AI in RBQM: How AI supports the shift from reactive issue management to proactive risk identification, allowing teams to spot signals earlier in the trial lifecycle.
- The “Mock Auditor” (Inspection Defense): A case study on analyzing unstructured data (such as scribe notes and deviation text) to predict auditor behavior and prepare teams for questioning.
- The Trust Factor: Best practices for governance, validation, and maintaining a “Human-in-the-loop” when deploying GenAI in a GxP environment.
PANEL DISCUSSION: Sponsor, CRO, site collaboration: Aligning priorities across stakeholders
- Outlining key differences in company budgets and pipelines
- How to align financial incentives between CROs and pharma so that both sides win
