National Evaluation System for health Technology Coordinating Center posts Request for Information (RFI)
The National Evaluation System for health Technology Coordinating Center (NESTcc), an initiative of the Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC), is soliciting the interest of organizations to partner in generating high-quality solutions and expertise with real-world data (RWD) to support improved evidence for medical devices. Expertise is sought in five strategic areas to realize the vision of the NESTcc real-world evidence (RWE) Marketplace for the medical device ecosystem:
1. Data platforms: providing a foundation for data gathering and curation, especially platforms that put the patient in the driver's seat, to gather health data into one place and share with the device community
2. Data sources: creating a national resource mirroring the experience of patient care in the United States and general experience of health throughout an individual's life
3. Data connectors: deliver continuity of care and experience between data sources (e.g., via aggregation/linkage) while maintaining patient privacy and protections
