About
Dr. Sarah E. Walker is a leading health technology assessment (HTA) researcher whose work focuses on improving the use of real-world data (RWD) to support regulatory and reimbursement decisions for medical devices. Her most cited paper, “Do existing real-world data sources generate suitable evidence for the HTA of medical devices in Europe? Mapping and critical appraisal” (2021, 40 citations), provides a foundational framework for evaluating the quality and applicability of RWD sources across European healthcare systems. This work directly addresses a critical gap in evidence generation, helping policymakers and manufacturers understand how to leverage real-world evidence (RWE) more effectively. Dr. Walker’s contributions are particularly notable for their practical impact on HTA methodology, bridging the gap between technological innovation and clinical adoption. Her research has been instrumental in shaping guidelines for evidence collection in medical device evaluation, with her citation record reflecting growing recognition of her expertise. By systematically mapping and appraising existing data sources, she has empowered stakeholders to make more informed decisions, ultimately accelerating patient access to effective technologies.
