London, UK – December 11, 2023 – OPEN Health, a preeminent global provider of consulting, HEOR and market access, patient engagement, and scientific and creative communications services, is excited to announce a strategic collaboration with Nested Knowledge, a leading provider of AI-based SaaS platform solutions for systematic literature review and meta-analysis. Together, we aim to enhance the speed, efficiency, and depth of evidence synthesis, ultimately aiding biopharmaceutical researchers in making crucial healthcare decisions and bringing products to market quicker.

“This collaboration underscores OPEN Health's unwavering commitment to leveraging innovative solutions and AI technologies for superior client delivery,” said Richard Jones, President of OPEN Health Evidence & Access. “We are excited to formalize our collaboration with Nested Knowledge and collectively bring market-leading evidence synthesis solutions to our clients.”

Systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses facilitate the methodical evaluation of all pertinent research on a specific topic and are fundamental components of comprehensive outcomes assessments, often in preparation for health technology assessment (HTA) and reimbursement submissions. Boosting the speed and increasing the transparency at which they're conducted will hasten the translation of research into actionable insights and approved healthcare interventions. Nested Knowledge's AI-driven platform will be applied within OPEN Health’s strategic market access and evidence synthesis teams, dramatically speeding up research analysis and the derivation of insights. By combining Nested Knowledge's technological prowess with OPEN Health’s scientific and analytical expertise, the partnership aims to elevate the standards, speed, and precision of healthcare evidence analysis.
