How Real World Evidence Continues to Shape the Late Phase Research Landscape

A Strategic, Technology-Driven Approach

Real world evidence has been a cornerstone of late phase research, providing stakeholders with answers on a product’s long-term safety, on which therapies are most effective in a real world setting, or on which treatment protocol is optimal. As technology and data availability advance, the way those questions are answered can become more efficient and targeted. Identifying and deploying a targeted data strategy can be an effective way to meet the goals and objectives of a product or study.

Opportunities are beginning to abound for the application of technology driven solutions to meet those late phase research objectives. Creating a comprehensive real world evidence strategy demands a focus on organizing and synthesizing the many real world data asset options that are available to life sciences companies. A fit-for-purpose real world evidence technology platform can serve as the foundation upon which to deliver maximum value from the aggregation of real world data sources. With big data solutions advancing to the forefront of the healthcare ecosystem, having access to a technology platform capable of generating a continuum of insights is paramount.
