Clinical research is experiencing a surge in data availability, driven by technological advances and the incorporation of real-world data (RWD) from patient experiences. This data includes biomarkers, electronic health records, genomic data, imaging data, labs, social media, wearable sensors, and more. However, analyzing and interpreting this data can be challenging due to the disparate nature of the datasets and the need for data interoperability. Technology platforms are being used to aggregate and consolidate data, with cloud-based platforms enabling real-time data sharing. Leveraging RWD has the potential to improve clinical trial design, patient care, and regulatory approval processes. Ultimately, the goal is to improve the understanding of diseases and treatments within different patient populations.
