About
Saskia de Groot is a leading health technology assessment (HTA) researcher whose work focuses on optimizing the use of real-world data (RWD) to inform regulatory and reimbursement decisions for medical devices in Europe. Her major contribution lies in critically evaluating the quality and suitability of existing RWD sources—such as registries, electronic health records, and administrative databases—for generating robust real-world evidence (RWE) that can support HTA processes. Her most cited paper (2021, 40 citations) systematically maps and appraises these data sources, revealing significant gaps in completeness, interoperability, and relevance for medical device evaluation. This work has been instrumental in shaping methodological frameworks for RWE generation, directly influencing how stakeholders—including HTA bodies, manufacturers, and policymakers—approach evidence generation. De Groot’s research underscores the need for standardized data collection and improved data infrastructure to maximize the return on substantial RWD collection efforts. Her findings are particularly impactful for students and researchers in HTA, health economics, and regulatory science, providing a critical foundation for advancing evidence-based decision-making in medical technology adoption.
