Drugs - Real World Outcomes (2025), 12:367-381 · Springer (Adis) · Open Access
Conducted by researchers including staff of the Philippine Food and Drug Administration and the National Pharmacovigilance Center. Ethics approval was obtained from the WHO (TDR) Research Ethics Review Committee and the Philippine Women's University.
How Evidano fit the workflow
- 1Capture
Focus group discussions with 11 healthcare professionals (pharmacists, nurses, physicians) were recorded and transcribed. Each session ran about 60 minutes.
- 2Analyze
The team ran a thematic analysis using open, semantic, and latent coding. Evidano was used to manage and analyze the transcript data.
- 3Validate
Outputs were cross-checked manually. Two independent researchers compared findings and resolved differences to support inter-rater reliability.
- 4Publish
The validated themes were reported in a peer-reviewed journal in 2025.
“...its use was justified in this study owing to its ability to efficiently manage and analyze a large volume of text data while remaining user-friendly for the research team.”
“The tool's output was cross-checked manually by the researchers, and the results were validated by comparing them with the initial coding and through manual verification. This ensured the credibility and accuracy of the findings.”
The authors describe Evidano as able to efficiently manage and analyze a large volume of text data.
In the study, Evidano outputs stayed human-reviewable: cross-checked and validated against the team's own coding.
Evidano was named directly in the data analysis section, supporting a clear, reproducible methods write-up.
