Maximizing the Power of Real-world Evidence (RWE): AI’s Role in Accelerating Life Sciences' Next Era
June 12, 2025Life sciences enterprises are increasingly turning to Real-world Evidence (RWE) as an essential input for decision-making across the product life cycle – from early-stage R&D to post-market access and safety. RWE offers validated insights into treatment effectiveness, patient outcomes, and safety, but fragmented data sources, inconsistent quality, and evolving compliance expectations often challenge its generation. With the rising volume and diversity of Real-world Data (RWD), traditional analytics approaches are no longer sufficient. AI, including technologies such as NLP, machine learning, and generative models, is redefining how RWE is produced and operationalized. AI is accelerating data curation, enabling predictive analytics, and delivering regulatory-grade evidence at scale. This Viewpoint outlines how AI is transforming the RWE landscape across six domains: drug discovery, clinical trials, manufacturing, commercialization, pharmacovigilance, and regulatory affairs. It also explores emerging models such as insights-as-a-service and autonomous evidence networks, which offer scalable, modular engagement approaches for AI-powered RWE. The report provides practical recommendations for both enterprises and providers, covering capability investments, infrastructure modernization, governance models, and partnership strategies. It aims to help stakeholders reimagine their data-to-evidence journeys and build future-ready ecosystems for continuous, AI-enabled insight generation. Scope Industry: life sciences Geography: global Contents In this report, we examine: RWE’s current landscape and growing importance in life sciences AI’s role in addressing foundational RWE challenges AI-enabled key RWD/RWE use cases across the product life cycle Emerging engagement models such as BPaaS, AaaS, and IaaS Future-forward models, including autonomous evidence networks and modular AI-enabled partnerships Strategic considerations to operationalize AI-powered RWE for enterprises and providers

June 10, 2025Life sciences enterprises are under increasing pressure to accelerate innovation, optimize costs, and embrace emerging technologies like AI. These priorities are reshaping how and where organizations source capabilities, prompting a fresh look at the roles of Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and service providers. GCCs are gaining renewed focus as enterprises invest in internal talent and domain expertise, while service providers continue to play a critical role in delivering flexibility, scale, and specialized capabilities. However, very few conversations bring both sides of the sourcing story to the table. Watch Everest Group’s experts as they explored how life sciences sourcing strategies are evolving in an AI-first world and where enterprises are choosing to build vs. buy capabilities. What questions did the webinar answer? How are life sciences enterprise priorities changing, and what is the impact on the sourcing strategy? What capabilities are companies increasingly looking to bring in-house through GCCs, and which are they turning to service providers to deliver? In an AI-first world, how is the value proposition evolving for both models?
