📊 What’s the future of evidence in healthcare? Dr. Steven Farmer joined us to explore how real-world data and real-world evidence are transforming the way technology companies and pharmaceutical companies prove their products work. Patients don’t just want the “ideal outcome”—they want to know their outcome. Real-world data provides that insight by studying larger, more diverse populations over longer periods, at a fraction of the cost. 🎧 Listen now to hear how data is reshaping healthcare innovation: https://lnkd.in/eGaq6vHd #HealthcareInnovation #RealWorldEvidence #Pharma #UnstableVitals Adam Brown, MD MBA Lara Zibners MD MMEd MBA Steven Farmer MD PhD
