Real World Evidence Roundtable for Immunology: Shared Challenges Roundtable

To accelerate usage of data in healthcare, we are aiming to create new, effective, entrepreneurially-minded bottom-up initiatives in the framework of the annual Hack Healthcare event.

One of the areas we’ve identified in conversations with the ecosystem is Real World Evidence (RWE): while there are already several initiatives in that space, more progress is needed.

All companies active in immunology face similar challenges linked to Real World Evidence (RWE):

–       Securing insights in long-term outcomes of diseases (in broad population, unselected patients seen in daily practice)
–       Understanding adherence to treatment guidelines and cost-effectiveness of therapy
–       Understanding patient profiles and switching behaviour of patients related to clinical outcomes

Can we identify a few straightforward issues where a short, sharp proof-of-concept project in collaboration with the right IT company or a startup would help everyone make rapid progress? Could we envisage a shared task force to address these challenges as a group?

A moderated online Roundtable of 6 pharma executives (market access and medical professionals) to openly share the (non-competitive) bottlenecks they encounter, and together find a few avenues towards solutions.

During the workshop, we will:
–       Create an inventory of bottlenecks encountered by all of the pharma companies around the table
–       Identify low-hanging fruits where a joint action (or a jointly financed project) can bring quick results
–       List potential partners for this action or project
–       Discuss potential for bringing a shared Challenge to Hack Healthcare as a catalyst for making progress

The Roundtable will take place on Friday, 11th March from 9:30 to 12:00, and is free for the participants.
The Roundtable is organised by Hack Belgium Labs, Esperity & Patient Centrics as part of the preparations for Hack Healthcare. It is not linked to any obligation to participate in Hack Healthcare 2022.

If you or a colleague would like to take part in the Roundtable, please contact caterina@hackbelgium.be.
We are planning to organise similar workshops around other topics in the future. If you’re interested in RWE or other data-related issues in pharma but immunology is not directly relevant for your company, please leave us a few details here
