This is the NIHR Innovation Observatory’s Medicines Innovation Database (MInD), a bespoke database that consists of unique Technology Records [innovative medicine(s) + target indication(s)] that triangulates intelligence from:
- ‘hard’ data sources (clinical trials registries, research funders, regulatory authorities),
- ‘soft’ intel (news/media, social media) and
- ‘pharma’ intel (company websites, press releases, direct engagement with companies).
The MInD provides the team with a clear and complete horizon-scanning picture of the clinical development and regulatory pathway of each technology record.
