Data capture at the source
Where Digital Health Captures Real-World Data
Digital health companies capture data where patients actually live: continuously, objectively and at scale. These are the main channels feeding real-world evidence.
Industry trends
Where Digital Health Is Heading in 2026
Digital health is reshaping how real-world evidence is generated. These are the shifts moving fastest, and the themes on the agenda at RWE Connect 2026.
Why it matters
From Episodic to Continuous Evidence
Digital capture changes the shape of the data behind real-world evidence: from occasional snapshots to a continuous, objective record.
Traditional Capture
- Data only at scheduled site visits
- Recall-based patient-reported outcomes
- Higher burden and site travel
- Smaller, less diverse samples
- Gaps between visits
Digital, At-Source Capture
- Continuous, real-time signals
- Objective sensor and device data
- Lower burden, captured at home
- Broader, more representative reach
- A fuller longitudinal picture
Evaluation
What Makes a Strong Digital Health Partner
Buyers at RWE Connect weigh digital health vendors against a clear bar before building them into a study or a care pathway.
Digital tools capture the data; real-world data companies curate it and the wider RWE solutions landscape turns it into decisions.

Why RWE Connect
A Generic Health-Tech Expo vs RWE Connect
Big digital-health and health-tech expos draw enormous, mixed crowds. RWE Connect is built for the specific buyers who turn digital data into real-world evidence.
A Generic Health-Tech Expo
- Tens of thousands across every corner of health tech
- RWE and evidence buyers lost in the crowd
- Keynote theatres with little decision-maker access
- Networking left to chance encounters and business cards
- Sponsorship measured in booth footfall and impressions
- Little visibility into who is actually in the room
RWE Connect 2026
- 150+ senior RWE, HEOR and clinical buyers
- Around 60% at Director or VP level and above
- A Partnering Lounge built for pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings
- Meetings booked with the accounts you name
- Sponsorship measured in qualified pipeline, not footfall
- A shared delegate list for warm, targeted follow-up

Digital Health Companies: Common Questions
What are digital health companies?
Companies that use connected devices, apps, wearables and software to capture and manage health data outside traditional clinical settings, feeding real-world data and evidence.
How does digital health support real-world evidence?
By capturing continuous, at-source data from wearables, ePRO, remote monitoring and decentralized trials, adding objective and longitudinal real-world data for research and decisions.
What is a digital biomarker?
A measurable indicator collected by digital tools such as sensors, used as an objective endpoint of health, disease or treatment response.
What are decentralized clinical trials?
Trials that move visits and data capture to the patient using digital tools, broadening access and reducing burden while generating real-world data.
Which digital health companies are at RWE Connect 2026?
The confirmed sponsors span data and analytics providers including Truveta, Magnolia, Forian and Arcadia, and the agenda features digital-capture and decentralized-trial sessions with 40+ speakers.
Can my digital health company exhibit or sponsor?

When and where is RWE Connect 2026?
14 to 15 October 2026 at the Hampton Inn by Hilton, Boston Seaport District, Boston, MA.
What is remote patient monitoring (RPM)?
Connected devices that stream clinical readings such as blood pressure, glucose or heart rate between visits, adding continuous real-world data to the record.
How are digital endpoints validated for regulatory use?
Through analytical and clinical validation against accepted standards, guided by FDA and industry frameworks such as the DiMe V3 model, so a sensor measure can serve as a credible endpoint.
What regulations apply to digital health and SaMD?
FDA Software-as-a-Medical-Device pathways and digital-therapeutic frameworks where a product makes clinical claims, plus HIPAA and GDPR for the underlying data.
How is RWE Connect different from a generic health-tech event?
RWE Connect is a focused, buyer-led event: 150+ screened senior RWE buyers, a Partnering Lounge built for pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings, and sponsorship measured in qualified pipeline rather than booth footfall.
