I walked in expecting another RWE panel. What I didn’t expect was such a global, practical, and refreshingly candid discussion. It wasn’t just academic, rather it was actionable.

This summit is an incredible opportunity to explore the latest trends and advancements in Real-World Evidence.

India is already and will continue to be one of the largest contributors to the global workforce for influencing health outcomes.”

The sessions were packed with valuable information and insights we can apply today. We've had our eyes opened to developments happening much sooner than anticipated.

You don’t usually get this mix with academics, regulators, startups, and commercial leads in one conversation. That cross-pollination was incredibly refreshing.

Most of the data available to us is based on insurance claim statements, leaving out a significant portion of the underinsured and currently unrepresented. We need to capture more diverse and complete data to better represent these vulnerable groups
