The data partners enable access to data from approximately 130 million patients across Europe, which significantly increases DARWIN EU’s capacity to deliver valid and reliable evidence based on RWD studies. A key design feature of DARWIN EU is that the data are converted into a common data model. In addition, data stays local and is analysed locally by the data partners. This combination of features enables personal data protection by design and the rapid conduction of big, multi-database studies…
