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.
