Real-World Evidence Platforms: Common Questions
What is a real-world evidence platform?
A technology platform that provides governed access to real-world data together with the analytics to study it, turning raw data into decision-ready evidence.
What should an RWE platform include?
Governed access to broad, recent data; standardization to common models such as OMOP and FHIR; transparent analytics; dashboards and reporting; and privacy, security and governance across every layer.
What is federated analysis?
Analysing data where it resides across multiple sites or networks, without centralizing it, which preserves privacy and expands reach.
What is OMOP?
The OMOP common data model standardizes real-world data so it can be analysed consistently across different sources and networks.

How do RWE platforms keep data private?
Through governance, de-identification, federated analysis and secure environments, so raw patient data is never exposed or moved unnecessarily.
