Looking at the full universe of patients, leveraging surrogate endpoints, clustering poor responders,

Considering the durability of the effect, conducting indirect treatment comparisons, understanding unmet needs - In summary, improving data packages while reducing uncertainty.

All that is a step closer if you apply AI to RWE generation, pulling the information directly from healthcare providers, without intermediaries.

We are talking about a database, a registry, a CRF... with an "undo button"; at a fraction of the effort.

• Effectively 
• Efficiently
• Responsibly 

• Retrieving the actual complete information of what is happening at each point of care
• Having access to the complete medical records information: Every single patient, every single variable, the most realistic data source possible
• In order to get this, you need a system which is able to retrieve information:
  • From any healthcare provider (as long as they have electronic health records -EHR-, paper doesn't work)
  • Natural Language Processing: 80% of the variables and outcomes are going to be in the clinical narratives´ free text

• Ensuring accurate KOL ID for engagement
• Utilising engagement channels for optimal outcomes
• Connecting data to verify understanding & strategy

The remit for Medical Affairs is extensive with a key objective of gathering actionable insights into clinician behaviour to identify practice and prescription patterns—and the rationales behind physician choices.  Join us to learn more about closing knowledge gaps to maximize the impact of your medical activities.

Let's take the idea of KOL engagement a bit further! Discover how to bridge the knowledge gap in multiple communities by sharing scientific information with relevant stakeholders simultaneously thus leveraging existing networks, relationships, and channels to foster connections. Join us in exploring the ideas and hear a few practical real-life cases of community engagement.

As the industry continues to rethink the profile of medical affairs, it must seek out new competencies, technology solutions, and data sources that better support patient-centric outcomes. Medical affairs leaders are at the forefront of this evolution and newly positioned to rewrite the traditional corporate formula for success. Understanding and analysing the scientific share of voice of competitive compounds has become increasingly critical when evolving commercialisation strategies. These highly specific insights create a foundation for continuous improvements and opportunities to act with greater focus. These efforts allow teams to accurately benchmark external relations and inform strategic engagement.
As innovation increases the complexity of care and the scientific demand of the treating community grows, the ability to identify and engage community leaders using insights from medical claims data is now critical for long-term success.

Traditional methods of evidence generation from electronic health records are no longer fit for purpose.  Discover how AI techniques such as clinical natural language processing (cNLP) can generate deep RWE to deliver clinical and economic value for industry. Hear about:

·  The limitations of traditional methods of evidence generation from electronic health records

·  The benefits of AI-based techniques such as cNLP

·  A gold standard for high-quality RWE for deeper insights at scale and speed

·  Ideas for applying deep RWE across the Pharma R&D and commercial lifecycle

Traditional methods alone for evidence generation in electronic health records are no longer fit for purpose. We discuss how AI applied to electronic health records for Deep RWE, at scale and speed, can generate greater scientific and economic value for Medical Affairs:

• AI in healthcare today - reality v myth
• Disrupting the RWE status quo
• Deep RWE for clinical and economic value

• How can medical affairs navigate the challenges of rapidly changing internal and external landscapes?
• What value can medical affairs deliver with a new mindset?
• How can we empower teams to drive impactful engagement with the healthcare community?

• Assist with medical objective based planning
• Measure impact of medical affairs engagement activities
• Demonstrate medical affairs value internally

Innovation in an already crowded oncology space has created a challenge for medical affairs.  The proliferation of compounds in development has reinforced the need to accurately identify strategic opportunities, address the  scientific need of experts, while continuously demonstrating value.  To achieve these goals, medical leaders must develop clear, comprehensive insights. With an immense amount of data at their disposal, medical affairs must develop novel approaches to  leverage this information to inform targeted decisions and investments.
