This new technology is interesting, but the problem with the FDA and the Vioxx scandal wasn't that the FDA didn't know the drug was toxic to the heart, the problem was that the FDA knew and didn't tell. I'm not sure how new technology is going to make any difference unless it also manages to conduct an ethics transplant operation that somehow puts honesty into the minds and hearts of FDA bureaucrats. That is, if they even have hearts.
It's difficult to assign any positive attributes to a group of people who knew about the deadly dangers of anti-inflammatory drugs, and the suicidal side effects of antidepressant drugs, and yet did absolutely nothing to warn the American public. Even worse, they buried the evidence, censored their own scientists and attacked dissenting views in the medical community. New technology isn't the answer here. What the FDA needs is new ethics. And I don't think you can buy those.
