What our customers say

B.R.I.D.G.E. TO DATA® serves as a global leader in providing rich information on data resources available for public health research, especially in pharmaco- and other medical product epidemiology, and health economics. As a portal to identify and learn more about data sets and their content available for this research, B.R.I.D.G.E. is a must-have for those trying to find the best data available to answer research questions relating to medicines and other therapeutic and diagnostic products.

The number of databases featured continues to grow at a rapid pace, and each profile is complete. The B.R.I.D.G.E. staff is extremely helpful in helping you navigate the site for your specific research questions.

I learned from my own experience that both in academia and pharmaceutics prompt identification and selection of an adequate database is very important. In academic setting analyzing the data from registries is particularly of great advantage in countries with limited financial resources for research which requires significant investment. In pharmaceuticals there is an increasing request from regulatory authorities for companies to conduct post-authorization safety studies. B.R.I.D.G.E. TO DATA contains detailed descriptions of databases from more than 40 countries, including descriptions of pregnancy registries. It is impressive that using B.R.I.D.G.E. TO DATA one can find information on databases even from small countries. The fact that B.R.I.D.G.E. has information on the Serbian Pharmacovigilance Database speaks for itself.
