Title

High-Impact Interactive Visualisation for Real-World Evidence studies 

Abstract

Interactive visualization has moved from “nice to have” to a core instrument for exploring, analyzing, and communicating (pharmaco)epidemiologic evidence. This talk makes a high-level case for treating interactivity as part of the scientific process, illustrated with examples spanning clinical and safety decision-making, regulatory dialogue, market-access strategy, and public health. I will outline how the field is shifting toward accessible, engaging, and audit-ready web applications that surface assumptions and uncertainty. The aim is to spark a fear of missing out and give the audience ideas how interactive visualization can be applied in their projects. This session is a concise, high-level adaptation of a 90-minute R/Shiny workshop Máté delivered at the International Conference on Pharmacoepidemiology (ICPE) in Washington, DC, this summer.
