Accessing high-quality European RWD has always been a challenge – until now. Briya is proud to announce a new partnership with Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza, a renowned Italian hospital and research institution, to make valuable healthcare data more accessible to researchers worldwide.

Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza, also known as the “Home for the Relief of Suffering,” is one of Italy’s most respected medical institutions. Founded by Saint Pio of Pietrelcina in 1956, the hospital treats over 200,000 patients annually and has been recognized as the #1 hospital in Southern Italy for five consecutive years by Newsweek’s 2024 World’s Best Hospitals ranking. As a leader in scientific research, with a major focus on oncology, Casa Sollievo provides a wealth of real-world patient data – data that can now be leveraged to advance medical discoveries on a global scale.

 

Enriching Population Representation With European Healthcare Data

Despite the growing importance of RWD in shaping clinical and pharmaceutical research, accessing diverse and high-quality datasets from Europe remains complex due to regulatory, technical, and logistical barriers.

Considering that one of the key strengths of European data lies in its versatility, offering valuable insights into a wide range of biomarkers, diseases, outcomes, and treatments, it holds great potential to support more inclusive and representative research, ultimately paving the way toward personalized medicine.

This partnership paves the way to change. With Briya’s cutting-edge, fully compliant medical data exchange platform, healthcare systems in Europe can connect to researchers from around the globe. Likewise, researchers can now tap into high quality Italian patient data with ease. 

Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza shares this vision. Dr. Gino Gumirato, CEO of Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza, added, “Collaborating with Briya provides us with a unique opportunity. We can securely share and analyze data, and take part in groundbreaking discoveries. We are excited to lead the charge in enabling access to high-quality Real-World Data (RWD) from Italy.”

 

European Hospitals Partnering with Briya Take A Step Towards Driving Healthcare Innovation

This partnership is a significant step toward transforming the landscape of real-world evidence generation. By bridging the gap between European data sources and international researchers, Briya and Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza are helping to unlock the full potential of European healthcare data to accelerate innovation and improve patient care worldwide.

Our partnership with Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza is a reflection of our broader commitment: to build a connected, global ecosystem where data is used ethically, securely, and effectively to improve healthcare for all.
