3 things every life sciences company should know before leveraging AI to generate real-world evidence

AI (Artificial Intelligence) seems to be the buzz word on everyone’s tongue when they’re talking about analyzing healthcare data. But with everyone claiming to use AI, how do you know what to look for, what questions to ask, and what AI models to trust when generating real-world evidence (RWE)? RWE has become a key tool for life sciences companies to better understand treatment patterns and patient outcomes, meet regulatory requirements, or even identify patients for clinical trials. This webinar will be a discussion that explores the intersection of applying AI to RWD to generate RWE and provide valuable insights that can help inform your next research project.

In this webinar, experts from Verana Health and Datavant will:
  • Share 3 key things to be aware of before engaging in a project that applies AI to RWD for analysis
  • Provide examples of the impact AI is already having on RWE
  • Highlight case studies that showcase successful applications of AI approaches to generate quality RWE
