Moving beyond traditional research
Traditional research alone isn’t enough to keep pace with the complexity of modern healthcare. Researchers need deeper insights into how people live, manage their conditions, and respond to treatments in their daily lives. This is where Real-World Evidence (RWE) and the patient voice come into play—offering life sciences teams a unique opportunity to develop smarter, more impactful treatments.
Platforms like Inspire provide a gateway to these real-life perspectives, connecting millions of patients and caregivers and creating a powerful ecosystem of insights.
What is the Patient Voice?
The patient voice captures the real-life experiences, opinions, and needs of people managing their health. On platforms like Inspire, millions of individuals share their stories, discuss treatments, and connect over shared experiences. These conversations provide a rich source of data, capturing what matters most to those directly impacted by disease and treatment.
The patient voice ensures that drug development isn’t just about data points—it’s about real people. By integrating patient-reported insights into research, R&D teams can uncover overlooked needs, identify new opportunities, and improve adherence and outcomes.
At Inspire, we capture patient voices at scale, offering nuanced insights from diverse communities that bring clarity and humanity to the research process.
What is Real-World Evidence?
Real-world evidence (RWE) consists of data collected outside controlled clinical environments. It includes patient-reported outcomes, experiences, and behaviors, reflecting the diversity and complexity of real life.
Unlike traditional studies, RWE brings authentic, real-world data into focus. It’s a dynamic, valuable resource that can uncover how factors like age, lifestyle, and comorbidities affect treatment outcomes. Inspire’s ability to collect and integrate patient insights makes this data uniquely actionable for life sciences teams.
Seeing the Bigger Picture
RWE allows drug developers to see beyond the narrow lens of clinical trials. It helps identify which treatments work best for specific populations, showing how diverse factors influence outcomes. These insights lead to smarter decisions, more efficient studies, and therapies that better meet patient needs.
Inspire’s platform helps researchers segment and analyze this data, unlocking actionable insights that ensure treatments are tailored to the people who need them most.
Enhancing Ongoing Monitoring
RWE isn’t just valuable for developing new drugs or indications—it also transforms how treatments are monitored post-approval. Continuous feedback from real-world use helps life sciences teams quickly identify emerging issues, enabling timely adjustments.
Inspire facilitates this ongoing engagement by maintaining long-term connections with patients and caregivers, ensuring that treatments remain safe, effective, and aligned with patient needs.
