Whilst the term “Big Data” runs the risk of becoming a hackneyed cliché, the fact remains that harnessing multiple large data sets and tapping into real world evidence has the potential to provide one of the largest leaps forward in bringing new therapies to market since the development of the randomised clinical trial. However, simply saying the words “Big Data” loudly is not enough; what are actual examples of how to use these datasets to create new sources of evidence, improve targeting of patient segmentations, and create a better understanding of value for HTA? Further, what are the pitfalls of Big Data, and how do we avoid falling down a bottomless pit of rhetorical and analytical excess?
