Eugenie started working at LOGEX in October of 2023 after finishing her Master's Degree at the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam. With a background in biomedical sciences, she now operates at the intersection of healthcare, data, and technology. In this interview, she shares more about her role, how she thinks real‑world data can affect healthcare, and what motivates her in her work.
Can you tell us about what you do at LOGEX?
I work as a Project Manager within LOGEX's Real-World Data (RWD) team. I am part of the team that focuses on clinical registries. We analyse clinical data to gain insights into daily clinical practice and care outcomes.
In my role, I focus mainly on data distribution. This means that I manage and deliver datasets from our databases to different stakeholders for different purposes. For example, registry holders use the data to improve the quality of their registries and gain insights into how data is being collected. In addition, we provide datasets to researchers who use the data for scientific research.
What is the value of your work for healthcare?
The main value lies in improving how healthcare is delivered and understood. By analysing clinical data across hospitals and comparing outcomes, we can identify what works well and where improvements are possible. This increases transparency, supports more efficient use of resources, and ultimately helps to improve patient outcomes.
A key part of this is benchmarking outcomes between hospitals. By looking at differences in outcomes and treatments across organisations, we can better understand what “good care” looks like and support continuous improvement.
At the same time, there is often a trade‑off in this type of work, which is the administrative burden for healthcare providers. With our approach, we minimise this burden by primarily using data that is already available in electronic patient records. This allows us to generate insights without significantly increasing workload for hospitals.
What is your personal contribution within this process?
My main contribution is preparing and delivering datasets for researchers. When a researcher requests a specific dataset, for example, for a certain patient group or medical condition, we first define what that dataset should look like. After that, we prepare and anonymise the data and deliver it so it can be used reliably for scientific research.
I also worked on projects where we reuse data that is already available within LOGEX. This helps reduce the administrative burden for hospitals, as they no longer have to manually provide all the data. Given how busy hospital employees already are, reducing this workload is very important.
With which teams and colleagues do you collaborate most closely?
I work closely with several teams within the Real-World Data domain. The data operations team is one of the main teams I collaborate with, as well as colleagues in project management. In addition, I am frequently in contact with customers, such as registry holders, often multiple times a week. I also work with the product team, especially when new products or improvements are being developed. Finally, I collaborate with teams such as data design and analytics to make sure the data and outputs meet the required standards and expectations.
What are the main challenges in your work right now?
One of the main challenges is that hospitals are already under significant pressure, which can make it difficult to deliver data in a complete and consistent way. As a result, ensuring data quality and completeness can sometimes be challenging. This highlights the importance of using existing data and automated data extraction, so that insights can be generated without adding to the manual workload. It is also important for hospitals to clearly see the value of contributing their data, as this ultimately benefits both research and improvements in care.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
My background is in biomedical sciences, so I have always been interested in the medical side of healthcare. At the same time, my daily work is quite technical, which was something new for me when I started.
What I really enjoy is how much you can learn on the job. I work with colleagues who have strong technical expertise, and there is a lot of knowledge sharing within the team. Over time, I have developed a much deeper understanding of how systems, databases, and data flows work.
The combination of medical knowledge and technical development makes the work both challenging and interesting. It also keeps it dynamic, as you continue to learn and grow.
Can you tell us a bit more about your background and how you came into this role?
While I found the medical field interesting during my studies, I quickly realised that I did not want to pursue a purely clinical or lab‑based career.
I then chose to follow a master’s programme focused on management, policy, and entrepreneurship in health and life sciences. This helped me understand how medical knowledge can be applied in a broader, more organisational context.
During that time, I discovered that I enjoy structuring work, planning, and bringing projects to completion. That naturally led me toward project management.
After exploring different options, I joined LOGEX as my first job, and it turned out to be a great fit. It allows me to contribute to healthcare in a meaningful way, while working in a more dynamic and collaborative environment.
Looking ahead, what continues to motivate you?
What motivates me most is working on complex topics and continuously learning. I really enjoy understanding challenging problems and figuring out how to approach them together with colleagues and clients.
Collaboration plays a big role in this. Working closely with both customers and team members makes the work dynamic and insightful. I get to learn from different perspectives and build solutions together.
The combination of data, healthcare and technology keeps things interesting. There is always something new to explore, improve or rethink, which makes the work both engaging and rewarding.
