Real-world evidence (RWE) is emerging as an important area of research to reveal, in real time, new insights and innovations and is accelerating the development of new and innovative therapies and treatments to improve patient outcomes.
An important source of RWE has, until recently, been locked in the electronic health record (EHR). Now, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning are helping clinicians unlock the data from this valuable, unstructured (free-text) information.
This pharmaphorum webinar, held in association with Savana, will take place on Thursday 22 April from 16:00-17:00 BST / 17:00-18:00 CET / 10:00-11:00 EST and hear from presenters at BREATHE – the health data research hub for respiratory health, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust and Savana. They will describe how the research ecosystem is embracing AI, Big Data and Deep RWE and addressing its challenges and opportunities.
It will explore the rise of RWE and discuss how unlocking the information in the EHR and development of exciting new health data partnerships and collaboration are changing the way the NHS, researchers and industry can quickly, efficiently and safely access and analyse high quality health data sets.
Focus
The webinar will also cover:
- The challenges of RWE research and how they are being overcome
- Unlocking the clinical value of the EHR with AI and Big Data whist ensuring the safety of patient data at all times
- The research ecosystem and opportunities for RWE researchers created by the Savana: BREATHE partnership
- Deep RWE in practice – early results from the BigCOVIData study
