Tempus Announces Strategic Collaboration with Gilead to Advance Oncology R&D Through RWE

Key Terms

real world evidence medical

Data about how a medical product performs in everyday use outside tightly controlled clinical trials, gathered from sources like medical records, insurance claims, patient reports, and device trackers. Investors care because this evidence can change how regulators, doctors and insurers view a product’s safety, effectiveness and value — like seeing how a car holds up on real roads versus a test track, which affects sales, approvals and reimbursement.

biomarker medical

A biomarker is a measurable indicator found in the body, such as in blood or tissues, that provides information about health, disease, or how the body responds to treatment. For investors, biomarkers can signal the potential success or risk of medical products or therapies, influencing the value of related companies and industry trends. They act like signals or clues that help assess the progress of medical advancements and their market impact.

multimodal data medical

Multimodal data is information that combines different types of sources—such as numbers, written reports, photos, audio, and sensor readings—into a single view. For investors it matters because blending these types is like looking at a company with both a microscope and a wide-angle lens: it can reveal risks, trends, or opportunities that a single type of data would miss, improving decision-making, forecasting, and due diligence.

r&d technical

Research and development (R&D) is the work a company does to discover new products, improve existing ones, or develop better ways of making things — like a kitchen testing recipes to create a hit dish. For investors it matters because R&D is where future sales and competitive advantages are born, but it also uses cash and carries risk, so R&D spending and outcomes signal a company’s growth potential and uncertainty.

real world data medical

Real world data are health and healthcare information collected outside controlled clinical trials — for example, electronic medical records, insurance claims, patient registries, wearable device readings, and patient surveys. Investors use these data to see how a treatment, device, or service actually performs in everyday settings, which helps judge real market demand, safety, cost impact, and likely adoption; think of it as how a car behaves on real roads versus a polished test track.

ai-driven technical

AI-driven describes products, services, processes or decisions that rely on artificial intelligence—software that detects patterns in data and makes predictions or choices without step-by-step human direction. For investors it signals potential for faster growth, lower operating costs or new revenue, but also new risks (model errors, data problems, regulatory limits); think of it like a smart thermostat that can save energy and money but can also misbehave if fed bad information.
