Using Real-World Data to Drive Precision Nutrition for Endurance Athletes

In Endurance Sports, Nutrition Is Not Advice, It’s an Intervention   From Endurance Sport to Precision Nutrition   Not many people who know me as a Real World Data professional in pharma are aware that I also run a side activity in precision nutrition for endurance athletes. This work began naturally, driven by my personal… Continue reading Using Real-World Data to Drive Precision Nutrition for Endurance Athletes

Operational Challenges of Conducting RWD Studies in China

by Monique Samuels     The use of real-world data (RWD) is growing across the industry and is increasingly encouraged by regulatory agencies worldwide. RWD can provide insights into patient populations, treatment patterns, and outcomes outside of controlled clinical trials. China, with its large and diverse patient population, offers an important opportunity for global evidence… Continue reading Operational Challenges of Conducting RWD Studies in China

The Expanding Role of Epidemiology in Modern Real-World Data Research

When observational retrospective research began to be used more systematically more than twenty years ago, the real-world data (RWD) landscape was relatively simpler. Not necessarily easier, but simpler. A limited number of large administrative and clinical databases dominated the field. Claims databases, national registries and a handful of electronic medical record (EMR) sources were directing… Continue reading The Expanding Role of Epidemiology in Modern Real-World Data Research

The Hidden Architecture of RWE: When Complete Data Stop Being True Data

Real-world evidence (RWE) is built on the premise that data generated during routine clinical care can reveal how medicines and interventions actually perform outside the environment of controlled trials. Electronic health records (EHRs) and disease registries are often treated as the foundational infrastructure of this approach. To improve data quality, many systems increasingly rely on… Continue reading The Hidden Architecture of RWE: When Complete Data Stop Being True Data

The RWE Paradox: Plenty of Data, Fragile Structure

For more than a decade, we have framed real-world evidence (RWE) challenges as a data problem. Not enough access. Not enough scale. Not enough linkage. Not enough quality. However, this narrative has become increasingly difficult to sustain. Across major markets, data availability has expanded, platforms have matured, and analytical methods have become more standardized and… Continue reading The RWE Paradox: Plenty of Data, Fragile Structure
