Real world evidence (RWE) and real world data (RWD) are terms used to describe data collected outside of traditional clinical trial settings. This includes data collected from electronic health records, claims databases, and patient-generated data from wearable devices and mobile apps. The emergence of RWE and RWD is revolutionizing healthcare by providing a more comprehensive understanding of how treatments work in the real world, and how they can be tailored to individual patients.
We recently published an article in Express Pharma, titled ‘The Emergence of RWD and RWE – Are they an alternative to RCT?’ by Venkatesan Balu, Associate Director, Global Data Sciences, Navitas Life Sciences.
