Forge

Forge® is a low-code real-world evidence (RWE) research platform developed by Atropos Health, designed for technical and power users such as data scientists and research informatics teams. It provides direct access to Atropos Health's proprietary technology, enabling internal analytics teams to run observational studies, build cohorts, and generate evidence at scale — with significant reductions in run time and coding effort.

Forge is positioned as a self-service tool that augments existing data science capabilities, supporting use cases across health systems and life sciences organizations, including population health, quality improvement, formulary design, HEOR, and real-world evidence generation.

Core Capabilities

• Direct access to Atropos Health's proprietary analytics technology for power users
• Rapid cohort creation and cohorting engine supporting multiple observational study design types
• Supported study designs include cohort, case series, case-control, and differential outcomes studies
• Ability to emulate gaps in clinical trials using real-world data
• Algorithm development and advanced analytics controls for internal teams
• Re-running queries on datasets available within the Atropos Evidence™ Network

Low-Code Features and Self-Service Controls

• Start analyses from scratch with bespoke analytic outputs
• Modify eligibility criteria for study cohorts
• Change charts and figures within the platform
• Run counts, feasibility assessments, and cohort exploration with light coding requirements
• Generate visualizations for deliverables, including attrition diagrams, Sankey charts, and Kaplan-Meier curves

Advantages for Data Science Teams

• Expands the capacity of data science teams, particularly for expert superusers, to run more queries and custom analyses
• Accelerates evidence generation by reducing run time and coding overhead
• Decreases time-to-insight to support faster business decision-making with RWE
• Enables thousands of studies to be completed in days

Use Cases

• Fast cohorting for population health and quality improvement initiatives
• Rapid reconciliation of formulary design
• Scaling data science team capacity for higher query volume and custom analysis
• Supporting HEOR, Medical Affairs, and RWE workflows in life sciences
• Brand planning, precision medicine AI/ML, and commercial analytics applications

Forge® integrates within the broader Atropos Health technology ecosystem, including the Atropos Evidence™ Network for data access and other automation solutions such as ChatRWD® and Green Button®. It is intended for organizations seeking to scale their ability to learn from and act on healthcare data through self-service, low-code research tooling.
