Ro is a telehealth company in the United States. Ro says it will start a new research group to use artificial intelligence (AI) to study how well treatments work for patients. The company serves millions of people on its digital health platform and gives them access to doctors and medicines online. Ro wants to find out which treatments help different patients and if patients keep feeling better over time.

Ro started this new group because many people, drug companies, and health insurance companies want to know how well new treatments work in real life, not just in tests. There are also questions about the high price of new medicines, such as weight-loss drugs. Ro believes real-world data from patients can help answer these questions and show who benefits most from different treatments.

Now, Ro hopes to work with pharmaceutical companies to use its research. The company has already done some research with another company called Amgen. The main result from this news is that Ro will collect and study patient data with AI, which may help improve health care in the future. No results are ready yet.
