2. Description

Supported by the most comprehensive, advanced and credential tools and databases available in the world, we carry out two major kinds of research: 1) Conventional ad-hoc epidemiological, pharmacoepidemiological, health economics and safety studies using both observational and interventional methodologies. 2) Innovative studies on Real World Data (RWD): these are databases of de-identified electronic health records gathered over a long period of time from a panel of physicians, pharmacists, hospitals, nurses, etc. This unique source of data helps us designing and conducting a variety of studies directly through the databases. These include safety, and drug utilisation studies, but also studies on diagnoses, acts, patient adherence, therapeutic reasoning, quality of life, and cost of care.
