Thera-Business is pleased to announce that our CEO, Dr. Red Thaddeus D. Miguel, will be presenting at the DIA Real-World Evidence Conference, taking place October 16–17, 2025, in San Diego, California.

Dr. Miguel will speak as part of a session titled “Leveraging RWD and Synthetic Data to Advance Research in Special Populations.” This session will explore how real-world data, and synthetic data models from Qualtrics (Provo, Utah) can be strategically applied to support research in sensitive, stigmatized, or underrepresented populations, groups that often pose unique challenges for data collection and analysis.

Dr. Miguel’s presentation will focus on the use of synthetic data to enhance early-stage research planning in behavioral health, particularly among young adults impacted by substance use. The session will highlight lessons learned around integrating synthetic cohorts into real-world evidence pipelines, including implications for research design, data validation, and convergence with traditional data sources.

This timely discussion will offer attendees practical strategies to ensure methodological rigor when incorporating synthetic data, while addressing operational and ethical complexities in special population research.

Join us in San Diego for this important session at the forefront of innovation in real-world evidence. To learn more and register, visit the DIA Real-World Evidence Conference website. We look forward to connecting with you at DIA 2025!
