Interactive value tools combine published research data, local patient- and sales data and health economic analysis into one easy-to-use tool.
Medaffcon’s interactive value tools combine published research data, local patient- and sales data and health economic analysis into one easy-to-use tool. All relevant data is presented in an understandable and practical manner. The data can be further extended with Medaffcon’s RWE studies and Fast Track data requests or the tool can be specifically tailored to present these results.
The aim is to provide a visually pleasant, interactive user experience and data formability according to user needs.
Interactive tools are especially popular in the customer interface where they can be used to support and adapt campaigns and research publications. The tools enable i.e.:
Medaffcon’s multifunctional team executes interactive tools for the needs of sales, marketing, medical and market access departments. Depending on the scope of the project, we utilize our extensive medical, health economic and data-analysis expertise.
Interactive tools are most commonly built using software such as Microsoft Excel or PowerBI but are also possible to implement using other alternatives.
Multiple myeloma significantly increases the risk of infections. A recent real-world evidence (RWE) study revealed that multiple myeloma (MM) patients experience more infections compared to healthy controls, even prior to diagnosis. Infections, both before and after diagnosis, were associated with an increased mortality.
Despite its high-risk nature and availability of kidney treatments, chronic kidney disease (CKD) often goes undiagnosed. This especially concerns patients without type 2 diabetes (T2D), who represent the majority of CKD patients. This finding comes from a recent registry study published in Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation (NDT).
The adoption of new diabetes medications in Finland was active between 2012 and 2019, according to an RWE (Real World Evidence) study published in May 2024. The study was conducted by Medaffcon in collaboration with the pharmaceutical company Sanofi.

Mariann joined Medaffcon’s team in 2016 after finishing her PhD. The transition to real world evidence (RWE) research was a natural continuum to her previous research career. Through RWE studies, she has had the privilege to gain a broad insight into working with different stakeholders within the healthcare field. The vast proportion of her days goes towards interacting with clients, planning and performing RWE studies, and supporting Medaffcon’s RWE team. Subjects that keep her work interesting are the vast variability of customers and projects, problem-solving, and interacting with people.
“The number of RWE studies has increased since stakeholders within the healthcare industry have an increasing demand for knowledge-based decision making tools that need to be fulfilled. The future, therefore, has an ever-increasing emphasis on RWE”.

Iiro joined Medaffcon in March 2017 as a Biostatistician. For the preceding four years, he has worked as a research assistant in an academic study group, analyzing clinical and genetic patient data. Iiro holds a Master of Science degree in Technology in Bioinformation Technology.
Iiro’s strengths include his strong expertise in statistics and data-analysis, hands-on experience in working with sensitive patient data, and strong interdisciplinary communication skills with experts from various fields. In the field, he is particularly interested in the large data amounts made available with the revolution of technology and how the information received such data can potentially be utilized to draw concrete conclusions, both in order to understand the nature of diseases and to advance the goals of the pharmaceutical industry and patient treatment.
“Machine learning and AI-based solutions will have a major impact on the healthcare sector now and in the future. However, effectively utilizing the already collected and available health-data will have a higher importance in order to improve health-care”.
