Role of AI in Generating Real World Evidence from Real World Data

This article discusses how real world data (RWD) & Artificial intelligence (AI) can be combined by life sciences companies to come up with real world evidence (RWE). For developing new drugs & medical devices, real world evidence is crucial for taking important decisions & making informed choices.

Real World Data (RWD): RWD is gathered from a variety of sources like EHRs (electronic health records), patient surveys, insurance claims, medical devices etc. This contains information about patient treatment history, treatment outcomes, drug responses and other valuable information. As compared to clinical trial data, RWD provides a deeper understanding of patient care. 

Real World Evidence (RWE): Real World Evidence is the information which is generated by analyzing RWD & how a patient responds to interventions (drug and/or devices) in the real world. The clinical trials data is limited as it is gathered in a highly regulated environment.

AI Analysis of RWD: Machine Learning & Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques are used to analyze complex & unstructured data. AI tools uncover patterns accurately & quickly by processing & analyzing large amounts of information. EHRs have quality information in an unstructured way. Insurance claims data is also useful but it doesn’t contain info about treatment responses. AI processes these unstructured datasets to uncover patterns like how different groups of patients are responding to a particular drug. This helps life sciences companies to come up with better solutions.

EHR data like doctor’s notes are in text format which is challenging to analyze. NLP interprets these notes & extracts relevant info like diagnoses & treatment responses. Researchers can find the complete picture of patient care by using these analyses.

According to their goals, different teams in a life science company can use RWD & AI in different ways. These teams include, clinical development, HEOR (health economics & outcomes research) & commercialization teams.

Clinical development teams can use these analyses for patient recruitment for clinical trials and also in designing the overall clinical trials. HEOR teams can gather information about the long term effectiveness of the treatments & any side effects. Commercialization teams can monitor the drug performance in the market.

The use of RWD & AI in healthcare is crucial as the technology is advancing continuously. Life sciences companies can enhance patient recruitment, clinical trial design, optimize treatment strategies & analyze market dynamics in a better way. It leads to more informed healthcare decisions, better drugs & improved patient care.

Join Dr. Divya Jariwala, Senior Consultant at Healthark Insights, at the OHDSI India Symposium 2024 hosted by OHDSI India Chapter.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights from Dr. Divya and participate in this impactful event. She will address how inconsistent data formats across hospitals can obstruct meaningful analysis, and how data standardization is the key to overcoming these challenges in today’s healthcare landscape.

By now, there's lots of people have heard about the internal CDC memos for all newly prepared manuscripts (like future scientific papers waiting to be published):

There's so much to comment on, and I'm seeing it all right now. What the state of science is. What this means for the queer community. All of that.

But fuck, I think I might genuinely start crying over this. As a transgender biologist, this feels like a brutally personal blow. I slowly accepted my gender alongside my biology education. The more misinformation that was spewed about "biological sex" by mainstream media, the more my professors, colleagues, and primary sources would casually drop information that proved they have no idea what they're talking about. I'm not an expert on sex determination, gender, or transgender biology specifically by any means. But my worldview has been crafted by my studies in genetics and molecular biology.

Engaging with this research helped me demystify transition. It helped me optimize my transition. It helped me explain how HRT and other steps of trans healthcare work to other people. And it helped me overcome my own internalized transphobia, and finally start transitioning, despite knowing I wanted to since my preteen years.

Who knows how enforceable internal guidelines like this will be. But its certainly going to scare a lot of researchers away from transgender healthcare and science in the coming years, and that breaks my heart.

There's a lot I can say here, but fuck. I just needed to vent for a moment. Fuck.

Emotional scene from Muppets Star Trek.

glimmer was especially popular with lesbian couples, including one couple with the most excitable butch who knelt down and started gushing about her and I was like "oh you like dogs--" at exactly the moment that I saw she had a whole half sleeve tattoo of rainbow dog paw prints up her forearm 😂😂😂

and also two extremely sweet and #aesthetic femmes who were both dressed up SOOOO cute and having a little picnic on the grass nearby. glimmer tried to eat their potato salad.

Data winking at Picard and scanning him w his eyes. last gif is a slowed down version so u can more easily see it

[akkivee]

bc i’m still obsessed with the ghosts lmao, i think since ghost ichiro might be a tad more proactive about pushing forward with what he wants than ichiro, he’s a liiiiiittle 🤏 more confident pursuing his kuukou lmao

and i think ghost kuukou will only open his heart to the following: his believers and the actual kuukou LOL

[whyamiherewhosummonedme]

I have been informed that Reddit has found my story and are being super Reddit about it. Quick looksee of the comments revealed a bunch of people saying it was fake because [insert misunderstanding of how bacteriophages work]. Say its bullshit, whatever, but the being confidently absolutely wrong part is whats getting to me

no anson mount pls not the AI Art pls god no anson mount please

[rawliverandgoronspice]

I do genuinely hate how trusting simple shit on the internet is starting to become a russian roulette game. Even if AI wasn't based on maybe one of the biggest heists of human history, it would still be a massive L to the culture that we are expected to become paranoid about any interaction we have with other human beings, our appreciation for art, our trust of the images we see, etc. This is just making everything so much worse, and there is no justification for it that holds any water.

be real honest. which member of your favorite group whose personality is actually similar to you? are they your bias or not?

[possibly-pasta]

also WHY DO PEOPLE SO CASUALLY TOUCH DATA??? ITS NOT THIR RIGHT??? HES A PERSON AND AN INDIVIDUAL AND PEOPLE JUST FUCKIN GRAB HIM SOMETIMES AND IT UPSETS ME

The article is well worth the read.

guys its okay. look at the Campbell Bonner Magical Gems Database with me, ok?
