Digital product information · ePI and eIFU

Regulated product information, live behind every pack.

PILs, SmPCs and eIFUs turned into structured, source-linked records your reviewers approve — delivered through the GS1 code already on your pack.

  • No artwork change
  • GS1 Digital Link
  • HL7 FHIR ePI
  • EU ePI Common Standard
  • UK data residency
  • Part 11 & Annex 11 by design

A patient scans the pack

  1. GS1 DataMatrix

    The code already printed on your carton. Unchanged.

  2. GTIN

    The product number that code already carries.

  3. Resolver

    Yours, GS1's, or one we run on your domain.

  4. Approved ePI

    The current version for that product, market and language.

01The problem

The most regulated document you own is the one you can't update.

A safety variation is approved. The wording now has to reach the local label in every market where you hold an authorisation — through the national annex, the linguistic review, the artwork proof, the reprint and the submission.

Your batch records went digital. Your submissions went digital. The one artefact that actually reaches the patient did not.

Once a pack has left the line, there is no way to correct what it says.

02On the pack

The code is already on your carton.

If your packs carry a GS1 code, nothing changes.

No new code, no artwork change, no variation to file, no reprint. The GS1 DataMatrix mandated for verification is already carrying everything needed to reach the right leaflet.

  • Already on GS1

    Nothing on the carton changes

    Most prescription packs in the UK and EU already carry a GS1 DataMatrix for verification, and it already encodes the GTIN. We register as a target for the identifier you are printing today. Nothing new goes on the artwork.

  • Not on GS1 yet

    Live first, on the carton later

    Your approved content is reachable from day one through the portal and the API — no code required. The mark joins the carton at your next scheduled artwork revision, as part of work you had already planned rather than a change raised for this.

  • We're the destination, not the resolver

    We don't own your routing. Whatever resolves your scans today points at us as a registered target — your resolver, GS1's canonical one, or one we run on your domain.

  • The binding sits inside the approval

    Which GTIN resolves to which version is part of the approved, hashed record — not an editable redirect someone can change afterwards.

  • Old batches still resolve

    Superseded versions stay addressable, so a pack from last year reaches the leaflet that was approved for it.

Identifiers and routing records stay yours — point them elsewhere at any time. Serial numbers are read past, never stored. The printed leaflet stays in the pack: it is still statutory, and this complements it.

03The platform

Three document types in. One approved record out.

Send the PDF you already hold. Nothing retyped, no template to populate first.

  • PIL

    Patient leaflet

    Becomes patient-facing ePI, readable on a phone.

  • SmPC

    Prescribing information

    Becomes HCP-facing ePI, queryable section by section.

  • eIFU

    Device instructions for use

    Same pipeline, under device rules rather than medicines rules.

  1. Structured content

    Every section, warning and product attribute, broken out at component level.

  2. A source link on every value

    Page, paragraph and quotation. Nothing your reviewers have to take on trust.

  3. A sign-off trail

    Medical, regulatory and QA gates. Attributable throughout, locked on approval.

  4. A FHIR ePI bundle

    Aligned to the EU Common Standard, bound to the GTINs on your packs.

04Traceability

Click any value. See where it came from.

The link your reviewers follow inside the product — and the one you follow when an inspector asks where a statement came from.

Structured record

“4.1 Therapeutic indications” draws on 2 passages of the leaflet, highlighted alongside it.

A worked example on a real molecule, using illustrative wording. Your own documents behave the same way.

05By role

One approved record. Three different pay-offs.

Every variation is a race between the approval letter and the stock already in the channel — and you carry the gap.

The approved wording goes live behind the pack the day it clears review, in every market at once, without an artwork cycle standing between approval and the patient.

06Why now

Not a trend to watch. A schedule to meet.

  • European Union

    The Common Standard is adopted

    The revised legislation agreed in December 2025 carries provision for electronic leaflets, phased after adoption.

  • QRD template

    The leaflet itself is being rewritten

    Working through consultation now. When it lands, every leaflet you hold is a change-control item.

  • United Kingdom

    The MHRA is in delivery

    Improving Patient Information runs across 2026–27, on a timeline diverging from the EU.
