De-risking clinical development and driving therapeutic innovation: The power of RWD from EHRs

Developing breakthrough therapies involves significant time, money, and uncertainty, and requires strong evidence-generation to prove value. Real-world data (RWD) from EHRs can help pharmaceutical and medical device companies inform development strategy and alleviate some of these pressures as they seek to bring products to market and prove their efficacy.

However, not all EHR datasets are created equal. To power critical studies, researchers need access to EHR data with depth, scale, timeliness, and completeness to enable the use of precise inclusion/exclusion criteria among large, highly representative populations, and to understand the full clinical context surrounding treatment use.

In honor of World Heart Day on September 29, join speakers from Truveta, Reprieve Cardiovascular, The Permanente Medical Group, and Stanford Heart Health Tech Center as they discuss how Truveta Data is being used to drive product innovation for acute heart failure.

In this webinar, the speakers will cover:

How clinical expert-led AI is being used to normalize massive streams of daily EHR data for research
What differentiates RWD sources and what to look for when considering data sources for pre- and post-market studies
Ways RWD can be used to inform decisions made throughout the product development process, using real-life examples from Reprieve Cardiovascular
