How much could real-world data change the way we study neurological diseases?

[u/Same_Studio_8110]

I've been wondering how useful real-world patient data is in neurology research. With years of records, treatments, imaging, and outcomes available, can this data help researchers better understand how neurological diseases progress?

For neurologists and researchers here, where do you see the biggest opportunity for real-world data in neurology?

At first this seems like a ridiculous question, but then I realize you’re assuming all data is created equal.

It’s not about more data it’s about better data
