The healthcare data of patients collected during clinical trials only offers a limited perspective of their overall medical history. Compiling this data from various sources before, during, and after the trials while safeguarding patient privacy can be a challenge. Consequently, the data becomes difficult to use for obtaining meaningful post-trial insights.

In this paper, authors outline how clinical trial data can be tokenized and linked to valuable, purposeful, real-world data without compromising privacy. It also showcases examples of recent advances in data connectivity and analytics that enable the collection of real-world data before, during, and after clinical trials. This approach is reported to optimize the drug development process and increase the likelihood of favorable outcomes in clinical practice.
