Our Approach

Data source mapping characterises the RWD landscape in your therapy area, helping you to plan and execute high-quality RWE

RWD Source Identification

RWD source mapping provides tailored recommendations on RWD suitability based on:

Searches of medical literature databases (Medline, Embase) for RWE studies in indication of interest
Searches of HTA appraisals in the indication of interest
Searches of observational study registries for ongoing studies in the indication of interest

Tailored RWD Source Recommendations

RWD source mapping provides tailored recommendations on RWD suitability based on:

Data Source Design
Population Coverage and Linkages
Data Availability and Completeness of Reporting
Data Format
Access Conditions
Data Relevance
Pricing and Cost

We provide further in-depth research to characterise RWD sources, giving you access to the insights needed to evaluate their suitability for your needs

RWD Source Materials

We review sources developed by the RWD source owner, including specifications and data dictionaries

Previous Studies

We review previously published studies using the RWD source of interest and assess its use in HTA and regulatory submissions

Direct Contact

We contact RWD source owners to fill in any information gaps and can obtain patient counts to assess the initial feasibility of your study

Data Visualisation

An interactive data source inventory allows you to filter out the noise and identify the optimal RWD source for your study

An intuitive dashboard enables identification and comparison of RWD sources based on your study criteria.
