Ku Leuven Regulatory Sciences

Transforming Healthcare Decision-making As part of the KU Leuven Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy Unit, we drive a shift from supply-driven to needs-driven decision-making in healthcare. Our multidisciplinary research spans the entire life cycle of medicinal products and medical devices – from development and approval to reimbursement and post-marketing. What we do - Generating patient-based evidence - Integrating patients’ perspectives to inform better healthcare decisions- Shaping health policy – driving polices that improve patient access, affordability, and equity- Health economics and market access – assessing the value of treatments and their integration into healthcare systems Why it matters - Patient preferences – understanding what truly matters most to patients - Unmet health-related needs – identifying gaps in patients’ journey leaving them with unaddressed health, healthcare, and social needs - Shared decision making – exploring the role of patients in treatment choices By integrating diverse expertise and patient voices, we help building a patient-centered healthcare system that reflects patients’ needs and preferences
