AI and natural language processing now enable drug developers to mine unstructured EHR data at scale to inform trial design, patient stratification, and safety monitoring. The FDA and EMA have issued frameworks accepting real-world evidence, moving the practice from regulatory aspiration into operational use within sponsor organisations.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Digital Health, Drug Discovery and AI Infrastructure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you build tools to help drug companies extract signal from messy clinical notes, you now have regulatory cover to sell directly into sponsor organisations' development workflows. Regulators have moved from 'maybe someday' to 'here's how to do it right', and that opens a procurement cycle.
