Boston University
In collaboration with Boston University Questrom School of Business and Boston University School of Public Health
The 2024 IQVIA Institute Research Forum was held at Boston University in July 2024. Participants discussed the application of large datasets in research to advance public health, improve health system performance, and deliver affordable healthcare. The Forum examined a range of methodological challenges in high-impact health research, including questions around obesity and multi-disease; social vulnerabilities and health outcomes; the application of AI in health research; and the evidence of improving sustainable biomedical innovation. As part of these themes, the Forum attendees discussed how to conduct research with effective use of large datasets, combining data and methodologies from multiple fields of research across data science, clinical research, epidemiology, population health, and social research.
