Regulator's Data Portal — Proof of Concept

Welcome to the Regulatory Data Portal

Regulators hold some of the most valuable healthcare data in the world

But much of it remains hard to access, search, and truly use. This portal reimagines how that data could be surfaced. Using publicly available datasets from agencies such as MHRA, SwissMedic and others, it demonstrates how regulatory information can be structured, aligned to IDMP, and made far more intuitive for patients, healthcare professionals and organisations.

Built as a proof of concept, this micro-site shows what’s possible today — using AI, open-source technologies, and existing data — without the need for large-scale transformation programmes.
It highlights a simple idea: with the right approach, regulators can unlock far greater value from the data they already hold.

Disclaimers: This portal uses publicly available data and is not an official source of regulatory information. It is intended for demonstration purposes only and should not be used for clinical decision-making or regulatory compliance. The datasets used may not be comprehensive or up-to-date, and the portal does not reflect the full scope of regulatory data held by agencies. It uses:

Digitise SmPCs

Sections of this Micro-App

Digitised SMPC

The SMPC (Summary of Product Characteristics) is a structured document. If the sections of the PDF are extracted into a database, the utility of the data increases manifold. The FDA offers APIs under its OpenFDA framework, but other regulators struggle to offer a similar service. This is essantially the first version of ePI (electronic Product Information) that the regulator could offer to the public, healthcare professionals and hospitals.

This service takes approximately 400 SMPCs, digitises them, and makes them available as a searchable public portal — demonstrating how regulators could easily make their existing document libraries far more accessible and useful.

IDMP Product Master

One of the core challenges regulators face is that their existing datasets were not built with IDMP in mind. This section demonstrates how data already held in a regulatory system can be restructured and surfaced in an IDMP-aligned hierarchy — Marketing Authorisation → Medicinal Product → Administrable Product — without replacing the underlying source systems.

This is a key proof point: regulators do not need to start from scratch to achieve IDMP compliance. With appropriate transformation tooling, existing data can be mapped to ISO 11615 / ISO 11616 structures incrementally.

Orphan Designations

This page shows a listing of all products that have current and past Orphan Designations. The page demonstrates a potential option where data can be surfaced in a simple listing instead of a CSV download. Once data is available in a database, the regulator can automate the end-to-end journey for Orphan Designation management.

Orphan Designation review is usually undertaken as a mini-process running in parallel with the Marketing Authorisation. Availability of structured data on SMPC can enable end to end automation of the Orphan Designation process. The process is desgined with regulators in mind.

Request Orphan Designation

Companies wishing to apply for Orphan Designation can submit their application directly through this portal. The structured online form guides applicants through all required sections:

Supporting documents and attachments can be uploaded alongside each section. Login is required to access this form.

Digitise your procedural steps

Baseline IDMP dataset would allow regulators to digitise the procedural steps for processing any Marketing Authorisation application. Information and dataset published in the IDMP view above is classified as "public" information and can be safely used as basis to enable online jounry to request "more information" (RFIs) or "request correction of data" (called VCRs in the UK). the journey can be deisgned to refernce specific eCTD sections or document names against which clarification is being sought.

This would allow regulators to move away from email-based communication and manual processing of RFIs and VCRs, and instead have a fully digitised, auditable workflow for these procedural steps.
