Advancing Direct Patient Input in Real-World Data and Evidence (RWE) Generation
MDIC’s Science of Patient Input program has released a new framework to help the medical device community strengthen patient perspectives in real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) generation. The Direct Patient Input in Real World Data Framework is designed to guide manufacturers in collecting, using, and standardizing patient input from early product development through post-market surveillance.
By incorporating a comprehensive set of patient input sources—from EHRs and claims data to registries and patient-generated insights—this work supports more informed regulatory submissions and better patient outcomes .
How this Framework Can Enhance RWE Strategy
Learn how to use registries and unstructured data sources to gather patient feedback
Best practices for capturing diverse, culturally informed patient input
Methods to improve data quality, completeness, and usability
Insight into how AI/ML can transform raw data into actionable evidence
