The market
What Real-World Evidence Companies Do
Real-world evidence draws on data generated outside the controlled trial, from electronic health records, claims, registries, wearables and routine care. A growing market of companies turns that data into evidence regulators, payers and commercial teams can act on. The landscape spans six broad categories.

The market
A Fast-Growing Field, in the City Built for It
Real-world evidence is one of the fastest-growing areas of US life sciences. Regulatory momentum, from the FDA real-world evidence framework under the 21st Century Cures Act, together with rising payer and HTA demand for real-world value, has moved RWE from a supporting role to a core capability, and investment in real-world data, analytics and AI has followed.
Boston is the natural home for that conversation. The Massachusetts cluster is one of the densest life-sciences ecosystems in the world, from Harvard, MIT and Mass General Brigham to hundreds of biopharma headquarters and the Kendall Square innovation hub. It is where the people generating and buying real-world evidence already are.
