Our take
Aetion offers drug companies, payers, life sciences companies, and regulatory agencies real-world evidence (RWE), predictive analytics, and healthcare modeling based on real-world data (RWD). Aetion's evidence platform is used by the majority of the top global biopharma firms, leading payers, and regulatory and HTA agencies to inform decisions on the safety, effectiveness, and value of medical products.
Since the company’s inception, it has offered 9,000 treatment effectiveness analyses. In addition, the US Food and Drug Administration now uses the Aetion Evidence Platform as it develops more modern drug approval and safety processes. It’s indicative of a growing need to provide rapid, evidence-based solutions for healthcare issues, one which was highlighted particularly sharply over recent years.
This kind of tailored, rapid, and highly empirical information is in greater supply than ever before. The rise of devices and wearables has made health-related data available in vast and growing quantities and is anticipated to bridge the gap between healthcare research and practice over the years to come, if only accurate, reputable analysis can unlock the trends within it.
The company has been focusing on extending the capabilities of its platform, expanding its European and Asian-Pacific footprint, and growing its commercial team. Aetion’s already strong market proposition, consolidated by a number of key partnerships and acquisitions, puts it at the front of an important movement in healthcare development.
