Imaging now \u201ccan be utilized as an effective part of the RWE process by eliminating manual processing and compliance errors, providing access to large heterogeneous data sets, and doing so at the speed of the internet,\u201d says Matthew Michela, CEO and president of Life Image.\u201cWith RWI, Life Image is expanding its focus on helping researchers and innovators capture the full potential of RWE by providing \u2018living\u2019 data sets that grow and become even more meaningful over time,\u201d Michela adds. \u201cThis makes it possible to answer questions as they arise as opposed to answering one question in a limited manner retrospectively, such as carefully controlled clinical trials.\u201dIn addition to RWI data, Life Image also provides value-added services to researchers and innovators, including end-to-end management for de-identification, data curation and linking across medical claims, EHR, genetics and other phenotypical commercial and public data assets.","saveContent":"A company that\u2019s gathering medical data and images is launching an expansive image repository to equip medical researchers working on real-world evidence programs.Newton, Mass.-based Life Image says it\u2019s making Real World Imaging (RWI) available with the intent of improving the effectiveness of real world evidence programs for life sciences and artificial intelligence.
