Health Data Science & Real-World Evidence

Alex Rivera, MSc

United Kingdom · Independent Guest Contributor

Alex Rivera, MSc, is an early-career data scientist and research associate working in real-world health data analysis. With a background in biostatistics and health data science, he works with large-scale clinical datasets — electronic health records (EHR), claims data, and wearable- and app-generated data — to evaluate treatment outcomes in metabolic and chronic disease.

His focus is data cleaning, statistical modeling, and turning real-world evidence into actionable insight: adherence patterns, effectiveness metrics, and patient-reported outcomes for peptide-based therapies and GLP-1 receptor agonists. For Protocol+, Alex helps translate complex datasets into practical, evidence-based observations relevant to digital health and peptide tracking.
