Mental health can mean a lot of different things to different people with seemingly vague definitions. MentalHealth.gov takes broad strokes to include emotional, psychological, and social well-being at the interface of how a person thinks, acts, and feels. Indicators that something is out of balance can present with a number of uncomfortable behaviors including having low or no energy, having unexplained aches or pains, or experiencing severe mood swings. It would be difficult to look through the entire list of possible symptoms and not relate at some level at some point in time, suggesting that mental wellness is just one fabric to the many layers that influence how we function on any given day. Unresolved or persistent mental health issues can lead to a diagnosis of mental illness, but it feels more fluid than other conditions or diseases that use more measurable diagnostic criteria such as abnormal lab values or imaging modalities to diagnose.

PicnicHealth’s research partners Roche-Genentech and other key opinion leaders in the hemophilia space presented data from PicnicHealth’s Hemophilia Cohort in an oral podium presentation and poster session at ASH 2022.

Patient-centric real-world data and evidence are especially conducive to accelerating research of neurodegenerative diseases.

PicnicHealth joined industry leaders as a Silver Sponsor of the MarketsandMarkets Real-world Evidence and Life Sciences Analytics Conference. View our featured presentation "Let's Get Direct: How working directly with patients optimizes delivery of complete RWD".

Webinar: PicnicHealth's patient-centered approach to real-world data collection

DIA RWE is focused on the broader scope and challenges of reframing clinical investigation using RWE. Here are a few of the key takeaways from a stimulating and engaging conference.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
