Institute for using real-world evidence in healthcare launches

Spinout from Innovative Medicines Initiative will coordinate efforts in areas such as methodology testing

Healthcare actors including medicine regulators, pharmaceutical companies and patient groups have launched an institute to help healthcare decision-makers use more real-world data in their work.

The Get Real Institute, launched on 28 April and based in Utrecht in the Netherlands, is intended to provide a platform to convene stakeholders, including those in academia. It will also act as a design and incubator lab for demonstration projects, as well as a source of education and training resources.
