National Evaluation System for health Technology Coordinating Center (NEST)

The National Evaluation System for health Technology Coordinating Center (NESTcc) is a centralized entity focused on enhancing the generation and use of real-world evidence (RWE) for medical device evaluation. Established with a grant from the FDA in 2016, NESTcc operates as a decentralized network that collaborates with various health organizations, including hospitals and outpatient clinics, to improve the quality and efficiency of evidence used in regulatory decision-making and patient care. NESTcc's mission is to create a federated system that promotes trust, transparency, and accountability among stakeholders such as device manufacturers, regulatory agencies, and healthcare providers. It serves as a coordinating center that facilitates data sharing and analysis, supports pilot projects, and promotes open science principles. By providing access to extensive health data sources and common analytical standards, NESTcc helps generate reliable evidence for medical device safety and effectiveness throughout their lifecycle.
