LUMA RWE · BETA · LESOTHO

REAL-WORLD EVIDENCE FROM SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, MINISTRY-LICENSED, PROGRAMMATICALLY ACCESSIBLE.

luma's CHW interaction data, combined with WHO/UNAIDS priors via Bayesian projection, exposed as a versioned API. Built for pharma RWE teams, CROs, and biostats firms operating in markets where DHS-style household surveys can't keep up.

Why now PEPFAR/DHS data feeds destabilized in Q1 2025. Pharma sub-Saharan epidemiological baseline lost its primary source. luma is the ministry-licensed replacement designed from day one for commercial RWE consumption.

WHAT YOU GET

Eight things real pharma RWE teams ask for. All of them, programmatically.

Country posteriors
Disease-prevalence and incidence estimates for HIV, TB, MNCH, and reproductive health, with 95% confidence intervals computed via Bayesian update against published priors.
Cascade gap analytics
Treatment-cascade indicators (testing → diagnosis → ART initiation → retention → viral suppression) with district-level granularity and gap quantification.
Cohort sizing
Patient population estimates for clinical trial site selection, with eligibility filtering on co-morbidities, treatment status, age, and demographic markers.
Real-time updates
Posteriors update as new CHW interactions flow in. Subscribe to webhooks for material changes in any indicator.
Versioned REST API
Stable, documented endpoints. CSV and JSON exports. Ratecards and rate-limits scaled to your tier. SDKs for Python and R coming.
Ministry-licensed data
All data agreements are ministry-controlled and country-owned. luma is the licensee, not the owner. Defensible against data-sovereignty scrutiny from day one.
Methodology transparency
Every posterior cites its prior source, effective sample size, and confidence band. Auditable end-to-end. Submission-ready for FDA and EMA RWE pathways.
Regional aggregation (roadmap)
Cross-country views activate as luma expands beyond Lesotho. Eswatini and Zimbabwe in roadmap; full SSA coverage on Series A timeline.

SAMPLE USE CASES

What pharma RWE teams actually do with this data.

USE CASE 01 — TRIAL SITE SELECTION
Identify high-density ART switch candidate clusters across Lesotho.
Pharma X is designing a Phase III dolutegravir formulation switch trial. Site selection traditionally relies on facility-reported registers, which lag 6–12 months. luma's posterior cascade gap analytics surface active patient cohorts at district granularity, in real time.
DELIVERABLE: District-level eligible-patient posteriors (95% CI) + facility contact map.
USE CASE 02 — RWE FDA SUBMISSION
Post-market real-world effectiveness data for a generic ART regimen.
Pharma Y has launched a generic dolutegravir-based regimen in three SSA markets and needs RWE for FDA post-market commitment. luma's adherence and viral-suppression cascade indicators, with auditable methodology and ministry data agreements, meet RWE-grade evidentiary requirements.
DELIVERABLE: Quarterly cohort outcomes export, CDISC-compliant.
USE CASE 03 — POST-MARKET SURVEILLANCE
Adverse event signal detection for a new long-acting injectable.
Pharma Z's long-acting cabotegravir rollout includes a post-market safety commitment. CHW interactions surface adherence challenges, side effect patterns, and discontinuation reasons in near-real time — classifiable downstream signals well before facility registers report.
DELIVERABLE: Weekly safety signal digest + drill-down API access.
USE CASE 04 — PORTFOLIO PRIORITIZATION
Burden-of-disease comparison across SSA markets for a TB pipeline.
Pharma W's TB R&D portfolio needs market sizing across multiple SSA countries. luma's regional aggregation (multi-country, on roadmap) provides comparable burden estimates with consistent methodology — replacing the patchwork of WHO Global TB Reports + UNAIDS estimates + bilateral DHS feeds that pharma teams currently triangulate manually.
DELIVERABLE: Cross-country burden comparison dashboard + API.

BETA ACCESS IS BY INTRODUCTION ONLY.

If you're a pharma RWE team, CRO, or biostats firm interested in early access during the Lesotho pilot phase, we'd love to talk. The first three commercial customers shape what gets built next.
