Development of a real-world evidence data infrastructure - the CARE Platform

The UbiLab and the Waterloo Health Information Systems and Technology Lab (WHISTL), in partnership with Roche Canada and the University Health Network (UHN), are developing the CARE Platform (Clinical Analytics for Real-World Evidence).

Real World Evidence (RWE) is data derived from numerous data sources, measuring both objective and subjective outcomes from the patients' home environment, clinical settings and workplace. Such data is captured and stored in different systems and formats, limiting their integration and subsequent use and analysis.

The “CARE” platform will be a holistic cloud-based data analytic solution featuring a large central repository consolidating data obtained from disparate data systems (including data from electronic medical records, lab data, physician transcriptions, and patient monitoring devices, and self-reported surveys.). The “CARE” platform will serve as a central hub for researchers that includes integrated and sophisticated data analytics, access control, security and study management tools to curate data for research and clinical purposes.
