White paper

Is your real-world data research ready?

Go behind the scenes of real-world data

Real-world data (RWD) helps life sciences researchers and business leaders better understand how medications and therapies are performing. But before investing in RWD, it’s important to evaluate whether it accurately reflects the patient experience — this confidence in data provides confidence in decision-making.

Our white paper covers critical questions that researchers should ask about their RWD assets:

  • Is it easy to use?
  • Is it reliable?
  • Is it relevant?
  • Is it longitudinal?
  • What role does natural language processing (NLP) play?
  • What measures are taken to preserve privacy?
