As life science continues to benefit from a growing number of real-world data sources, from EHRs and claims to PROs and devices, organizations must weigh two factors. One is whether an individual data source is structured to support their clinical and business needs. The other is why a patient-centric approach unlocks the true power of traditionally siloed data

Diversity and inclusivity in medical research are important, and yet, clinical trials tend to enroll a population skewed towards White. Real-world data can be part of the solution by removing barriers that limit representation across racial and ethnic groups.

We are excited to launch a new Lupus Nephritis real-world data research cohort that arms researchers with powerful data to support clinical research programs and drive evidence generation now and into the future.

PicnicHealth will present the “The Empowered Patient: Driving individual and population health with data & technology” at ISPOR 2022

Data completeness is essential to real-world data (RWD) quality. In this infographic, we will explore how data completeness is defined and improved.

2021 was another exciting year at PicnicHealth. We’re looking back and celebrating all that we accomplished with our patient volunteers and life science partners. Take a look with us. And thank you for coming along on our journey.

PicnicHealth is excited to announce our Holiday 2021 Donation Campaign. PicnicHealth is donating to patient advocacy groups everytime a patient joins a PicnicHealth research study until January 2, 2022.

We’re beginning a series: “Good Data Is”, where we’ll take a look at how to build good data and explore how best to optimize data capture, transformation and patient engagement

The American Society of Hematology (ASH) recently accepted two of our abstracts for the upcoming 63rd ASH Annual Meeting, which will be held December 11-14, 2021.

The Lupus Foundation of America estimates that 1.5 million Americans, and at least 5 million people worldwide, have a form of Lupus.

PicnicHealth is excited to partner with Komodo Health to enrich its patient-centered real-world data Research Platform. This collaboration will enable PicnicHealth to unlock rich new insights about complex diseases and treatment outcomes.

We’re excited to announce the formation of our Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) and welcome inaugural members, including Robert Kaplan, PhD, Jeffrey Brown, PhD, and Milena Gianfrancesco, PhD, MPH.

he Evidence Base and PicnicHealth partnered to put Data Completeness In Focus. Dan Drozd, MD, PicnicHealth’s Chief Medical Officer sat down with Darcy Hodge, Editor of the Evidence Base to talk about the importance of data completeness, unstructured data and additional factors that impact the generation of high-quality real-world evidence. Listen to the podcast, part of the In Focus feature by visiting The Evidence Base. A transcript of the interview appears below.

Sickle cell disease is the most common inherited blood disorder in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 100,000 people are living with sickle cell in the US

PicnicHealth is excited to partner with Komodo Health to enrich its patient-centered real-world data Research Platform. This collaboration will enable PicnicHealth to unlock rich new insights about complex diseases and treatment outcomes.

Recognizing the need for accelerating medical product development and modernizing the drug approval process, the 21st Century CURES Act was enacted in 2016 and augmented the ability for the FDA to incorporate real world data and patient perspectives into the drug approval process. While randomized clinical trials are still the gold standard, observational data is increasingly utilized to supplement clinical trial design, as synthetic controls in single arm trials and for label expansion.

PicnicHealth partners with life science companies, academic research institutions, and health systems organizations in applying real world evidence for the advancement of patient care and treatment. We produce high quality multimodel datasets that cover a patient’s entire medical journey and are more comprehensive and customizable than existing sources of real-world data.

Announcing the official launch of PicnicHealth's scientific research platform. PicnicHealth is gathering medical records data from proactively consenting patients, de-identifying it to ensure patient data privacy, and then aggregating it with the goal of deepening the scientific understanding of serious diseases. This data, known as “real-world data” helps researchers better understand what diseases look like outside of the controlled setting of clinical trials where research has traditionally been done.
