Every 14 seconds, somewhere in the world, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer… Making it the second most common cancer in the world, according to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Early detection literally saves lives. This makes the validity of having an annual Breast Cancer awareness month, held in October, extremely obvious. At LOGEX, we also see Breast Cancer Awareness Month as an important time to reflect on the challenges and advancements in the treatment of patients with breast cancer. Our focus is on leveraging real-world data and analytics. Through collaborations with healthcare providers, researchers, life science companies and patient organisations, we aim to increase the understanding of how care is being provided internationally and how optimisation is possible in order to achieve more positive outcomes at a faster pace for patients. Thu ultimate goal is to reduce the impact of breast cancer on patients and their families. Two examples of our work in this field: 1- Should breast cancer patients suffer from heartburn to not temper with the effectiveness of their cancer treatment, as is suggested by literature? Our real-world data research implies that the answer is ‘no’: Proton pump inhibitors help reduce heartburn and their use does not show a negative effect on the effectiveness of the cancer treatment: https://lnkd.in/eH6mZd5k. 2- The outcomes of the treatment of breast cancer varies quite significantly, even when looking at just European countries. There are important knowledge gaps in our understanding of how these variations can be explained. LOGEX worked with researchers and hospitals across Europe to gather and analyse real-world data on care paths in different countries, leading to some highly relevant insights and best practices https://lnkd.in/eD-MkV4M.

Using Patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs) in healthcare should be the norm, but implementing this into every day practice is still extremely complex.   This is the topic of a roundtable LOGEX’s Fabio Catarinella is participating in on October 22, from 15:30 to 16:15 CET during this year’s ICHOM Conference. Fabio will share insights on harmonising PROMs, addressing selection issues, engaging patients effectively, and optimising data visualisation to support shared decision-making to overcome some of the main hurdles.   The conference is ICHOM’s flagship event on October 21-22 in Amsterdam, bringing together the global value-based healthcare (VBHC) community. It is a space for leaders from public and private healthcare organisations, patient representatives, payers, and regulatory bodies to collaboratively address the challenges facing our healthcare systems. There will be over 800 attendees, 130 expert speakers, hands-on workshops, interactive round-table discussions, and 200 research posters focused on patient-centered outcomes.

A home game for some of our RWE team members! This week, they are attending the EADV Congress in Amsterdam, from the 25th to the 28th of September. This event is an amazing opportunity for us to learn more about the latest advancements in dermatology and venerology and connect with the experts in those fields. We’re particularly eager to present our Psoriasis Observatory, which addresses an important gap in the understanding of psoriasis treatment. With new therapies targeting inflammatory pathways and the increasing use of biosimilars for TNFi drugs, healthcare providers face growing complexity in treatment decisions. Our Psoriasis Observatory leverages data from hospitals across Europe to systematically analyse care pathways, outcomes, and costs associated with different therapeutic approaches. Want to learn more about how we use this data to optimise care? Reach out to Jan van der Eijk, Renée de Valk or Femke Oldenziel to schedule a coffee meeting. #EADV2024 #EADVCongress #PsoriasisCare #Dermatology #DataDrivenHealthcare #LOGEX #PsoriasisObservatory eric Grossat,Gabriela Ojeda Arqueros,Mart Schoondermark,Nicole Kerklaan,Sarah Blackburn, Anja Deelen,Danielle van Leeuwen,Taia Tveritina

Working with top experts in Germany to improve healthcare... For the last 15 years the Scientific Advisory Board, a panel of top experts in the German healthcare field, has worked together with the team in our Hamburg office regarding all matters related to operating room management and resource control in hospitals. On September 11, 2024, the Board gathered for the Autumn Meeting on the sidelines of the DGAI Annual Congress in Kassel, now for the first time as the LOGEX SAB. In his speech, Philipp Jan Flach, CEO of LOGEX, emphasised the importance of cooperation between professional associations and LOGEX. The collaboration of the Scientific Advisory Board is, in his view, a prime example of how working together can have a significant impact. Over the years the Board has collectively contributed with broad technical and healthcare policy expertise to the development of new analytical approaches. It has also produced numerous scientific studies. He expressed his gratitude to Prof. Dr. Thomas Auhuber, Christof Denz, Matthias Diemer, Patrick Friederich, Joß Giese , Thomas Kloss, Prof. Dr. Dirk Lauscher, Hans-Jörg Rüggeberg, Martin Schuster, and Christian Taube for their work in the SAB. He expressed his excitement to support this continuing success story, with Enno Bialas overseeing the content of the work and leading the organisation of the meetings. One of the main topics of the recent meeting was Patient Engagement. Fabio Catarinella introduced the LOGEX solution Patient Engagement to the Board, which is already being used across Europe. The possibilities for linking this Patient Engagement solution with operating room process data significantly fueled the discussion within the Board, leaving us eagerly anticipating further collaboration with great excitement and optimism. We will keep you informed about upcoming developments. #DataAnalytics,#HealthcareInnovation,#PatientCare,#HealthTech, #DataDriven, #Improvingcare

The insights of our recent LinkedIn poll (https://lnkd.in/eTSDP6Gm) are in! we asked our community how they believe data analytics can contribute most significantly to healthcare. The results of this LinkedIn poll were insightful: Optimised Healthcare Resource Usage – 42% Improved Patient Journey – 32% Advanced Clinical Outcomes – 26% The majority of respondents highlighted the importance of optimising healthcare resource usage (HCRU), showcasing how data can be pivotal in ensuring efficient resource allocation. This finding aligns with the growing need to address operational challenges, enhance efficient care delivery, and reduce waste. Meanwhile, improving patient journeys (32%) and advancing clinical outcomes (CO) (26%) also ranked highly, demonstrating a shared focus on both patient-centric care and clinical advancements. These insights reinforce that data is not just about numbers—it's about driving impactful change across the healthcare ecosystem. How do you see data analytics shaping healthcare in the future?

Researching European healthcare data is no easy feat—each country has its own unique coding and processing methods. It's like comparing apples to oranges, making it nearly impossible to analyse such heterogeneous data. To address this challenge in psoriasis research, LOGEX has developed an automated solution to map and translate diverse data from hospitals in the UK, Spain, and the Netherlands to align with the OMOP model. This innovation will significantly reduce the researchers' workload by about 80%! Curious to learn more?
