Raising the bar on RWE: addressing the challenges of research and industry with AI and NLP

  • Are you in Pharma and keen to improve your RWE project or RWD for regulatory approval?
  • Are you a researcher yearning for exciting RWE projects to transform patient outcomes?

The future of real-world evidence generation has arrived. Experts from Savana, Janssen and BREATHE will discuss their experiences of the value of utilizing clinical natural language processing (cNLP) on electronic health records. Discover why evidence generation techniques need to evolve to break through the challenges of traditional methods and how cNLP can help generate ‘deep real-world evidence (RWE)’. Plus, hear how advanced AI techniques in pharma can assist researchers, clinicians and industry alike.
