Our Real-World Evidence division enables our clients to maximize their product’s value potential by leveraging real world data and insights to generate clear and powerful evidence and strategies to support and navigate the path to market.
Lumanity is currently building its Real World Evidence (RWE) Global Practice from scratch in a mixture of “buy and build”, leveraging existing expertise in HEOR, market access, and medical affairs.
This new RWE Global Practice will support data analytics and RWE generation for a variety of non-interventional studies, including: treatment pathways, patient journeys, drug utilization studies, target drug effectiveness, outcomes research, cost of illness, burden of disease and safety, as well as a number of advanced techniques and methods.
The RWE team will also provide RWE-related consulting and advisory services, dubbed “RWE Data Luminary Consulting”.
RWE Data Luminary Consulting refers to RWE-related projects which do not necessarily require access to patient data, such as strategic evidence planning or data landscaping.
Data Luminary services are a key component of Lumanity’s RWE core capabilities and go-to-market strategy.

ACs are relied on to provide well-constructed desk research, analysis and report writing.
