Connect Evidence

Evidence does not speak for itself – “Best evidence” needs to be integrated and mobilized at the right time, to the right people! Connecting evidence helps to raise awareness, enrich perspectives and prompt meaningful use of evidence to align Ayurvedic research, policy and practices. Integration of traditional knowledge with empirical and modern evidence can enrich Ayurveda and drive innovation.

Evidence Framework

Information achieves the status of evidence by comparing with relevant standards, along with systematic analysis and reasoning to justify claims, thereby providing a framework for the data-information-evidence-knowledge transition.  Pramana Vidnyana exemplifies Ayurvedic scientific methodology based on deep observation, systematic comparison, logical reasoning of scriptures, experiments, and experience to generate valid evidence,  that was applied in clinical practice. 

Evidence Collection

Decision makers need constantly updated evidence synthesis. GOAL presents a unique evidence collection that ranges from historical evidence in classical texts to primary, secondary, and tertiary evidence from modern research. Integrating multiple forms of evidence create synergies across diverse knowledge systems to generate actionable insights that can inform practice, policy, manufacturing, and individual decision-making.

Evidence Gap

Identifying evidence gaps is crucial to implementing the best evidence and facilitating knowledge transfer. The frequency of ‘contradictory’  and ‘inconclusive’ evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analysis that uses top-rated placebo-controlled trials on a randomized population as proof of efficacy, warrants the need for pragmatic and whole system models to fill the evidence gap in Ayurveda.

Evidence Translation

Identifying evidence gaps is crucial to implementing the best evidence and facilitating knowledge transfer. The frequency of ‘contradictory’  and ‘inconclusive’ evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analysis that uses top-rated placebo-controlled trials on a randomized population as proof of efficacy, warrants the need for pragmatic and whole system models to fill the evidence gap in Ayurveda.

Real World Evidence

Evidence generated from  RCTs (randomized controlled trials) – the gold standard of clinical research with a ‘one-size-fits-all’ rationale appears to be a weak model in the era of precision medicine.  Ongoing  data-driven strategies that  integrate real-world data (RWD)  and patient-reported outcomes (PRO)  to generate   real-world evidence (RWE)  offers a pragmatic  option   for  personalized  multimodal  therapies  common   in Ayurvedic practice
