Real world data in ConcePTION: recorded presentations available!
Real-world data often refers to data generated by routine healthcare delivery, including electronic health records and claims data, or through patient-generated sources such as wearable devices, social media, and mobile apps. Real-world data has the potential to transform healthcare by enabling more personalized, evidence-based care, while improving health outcomes, and reducing costs. Nonetheless, it also presents challenges around data quality, privacy, and bias, which must be addressed to ensure the quality of the studies.
On 20 April 2023, we organised a webinar on using real word data for research on medication safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding. During the webinar, Miriam Sturkenboom & Marieke Hollestele from University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands, Rosa Gini from Agenzia regionale di sanita della Toscana, Italy and Vjola Hoxhaj from University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands discussed the opportunities and challenges of using real-world data to investigate the safety of medications during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Want to learn more about the latest contributions of ConcePTION in this field and how studies using real-world data can inform clinical and regulatory decision-making to ultimately improve the health of both pregnant women and their children? The presentations were recorded and a playlist is available to watch on the ConcePTION project’s YouTube channel.
The webinar started with an introduction by Professor. Miriam Sturkenboom from the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands, who presented on how the ConcePTION project is generating evidence on medicine safety in pregnancy.
The second presentation was from Marieke Hollestele, PhD student in bioethics from University Medical Centre Utrecht, the Netherlands, who talked about how ConcePTION is using real world data in an ethical responsible way.
In the third presentation, Vjola Hoxhaj from University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands, presented on how we assess quality in real world data.
In the last presentation of the day, Dr. Rosa Gini from Agenzia regionale di sanita della, Toscana, Italy, talked about how to identify and characterize pregnancies from heterogeneous real-world data sources.
