RWD vs RWE

Real-world data (RWD) is data collected outside conventional randomised trials — from claims, electronic health records, registries, wearables and more. Real-world evidence (RWE) is the clinical evidence derived by analysing RWD.

Where RWE is used

  • Regulatory submissions and label expansions.
  • Post-market safety and effectiveness.
  • Health economics and outcomes research (HEOR).
  • Payer and access decisions.

Common data sources

  • Electronic health records and claims.
  • Patient registries and cohorts.
  • Wearables and patient-reported outcomes.

How AI accelerates RWE

  • Structuring unstructured clinical text.
  • Cohort discovery and phenotyping.
  • Signal generation and hypothesis testing.

Watch-outs

  • Data quality and bias.
  • Privacy and de-identification.
  • Transparent, reproducible methods.
