Designing Strong RWE Research Questions | The Real-World Talk

Real-world data only becomes meaningful when it is guided by the right question. In this episode of The Real-World Talk, Dr. Keiko Asao (Kappa Medical K.K.) shares her perspective on what truly defines a strong and scientifically valuable research question when working with real-world evidence in Japan. She discusses why relevance, feasibility and clinical grounding are essential, how understanding the characteristics and limitations of Japanese datasets shapes what is realistically achievable, and why strategic thinking and transparency are critical throughout the study process. This conversation offers practical and experience-based guidance for teams seeking to design robust, credible and decision-relevant RWD studies in the Japanese context.
