Real-world data (RWD) can come from a variety of sources, including claims, electronic health records, biobanks, genomics tests, and imaging modalities. Increasingly, it is coming from digital data through electronic health and mobile health modalities. Recent events have pushed innovation in the use of RWD to maximize the value of real-world evidence in an era of big data, data science, and artificial intelligence.

As an associate professor of biostatistics at Oregon Health & Science University, Miguel Marino’s work earned him recognition in 2020 when he was selected by the National Academy of Medicine as an Emerging Leader in Health and Medicine Scholar.

The Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics 12th Annual UPENN Conference on Statistical Issues in Clinical Trials will be held April 17.

RWD and its applications in the pharmaceutical industry was the topic of the fourth virtual meet-up sponsored by the National Institute of Statistical Sciences and Merck and co-sponsored by the ASA’s Health Policy Statistics Section for the first time this year. Big data, real-world data, and observational data have become ubiquitous and essential components of the drug development and commercialization process.
