Deloitte Launches Real-World Evidence Platform
Trending Now: Data analytics can provide insights and relationships among drugs and diseases across broad patient populations over time.
Deloitte has released PopulationMiner, a real-world, data-analytics solution for gleaning insights and relationships among drugs and diseases across broad patient populations over time and spanning multiple therapeutic and clinical areas.
The solution draws upon Intermountain Healthcare’s vast repository of clinical, financial, and operational data stored in a warehouse that supports patient-outcome analysis. The solution may allow for the identification of biomarkers using laboratory test results and rapid hypothesis generation and validation across a range of business functions including drug development, drug safety, pharmacoepidemiology, and health economics and outcomes research.
PopulationMiner also can produce hypotheses across complex, co-morbid patient populations and a pathway for conducting follow-on research with the same populations. Users also can specify cohorts based on granular criteria and then export these definitions to OutcomesMiner, where the criteria and methods can be further customized in generating reports.
“With the shift toward value-based, personalized care, it’s key for life-sciences decision makers to have deep insights into complex, real-world populations," says Brett Davis, principal, Deloitte Consulting and general manager of Deloitte Health Informatics. “PopulationMiner enables a better understanding of health and disease by supporting population stratification and advanced analytics based on disease type, stage, and comorbid combinations."

ICON Launches System to Analyze Safety Data
ICON has launched ICONIK Patient Safety, a system that offers a systematic way to monitor safety trends in accumulating data, spot potential safety issues, and take appropriate corrective and preventive action while the study is ongoing.
Data can be queried dynamically at any level of detail (single patient, single site, across an entire study or entire compound), helping sponsors make informed, data-driven decisions regarding patient treatment and safety, study direction, and regulatory reporting.
“Patient well-being is paramount in any clinical trial," says Dr. Peter Schueler, senior VP, medical and safety services, ICON Clinical Research. “ICONIK Patient Safety allows real-time review of integrated patient safety data, thereby improving our ability to identify and monitor unexpected adverse events.
