Savana CEO and Founder Discusses Overcoming RWE Challenges and Ensuring Data Privacy

Savana CEO and Founder discussed challenges that arise when designing real world evidence (RWE) studies, including data privacy concerns, data ownership, and performing high quality studies using artificial intelligence (AI). Savana has been remarkably successful in extracting useful real world data from electronic health records–across health systems and countries.

Medrano remarks, “When I speak with researchers and clinicians three questions always arise. How do we ensure patient data privacy? Who owns the data? Finally, given that we know the data in EHRs are often variable and incomplete, how do we know that the data we extract is of the high quality required for a particular study?” Read more here.
