Ales Tichopad – biologist, biostatistician and founder of CEEOR- discusses the evolving role of data in healthcare and research. There is a lingering skepticism towards using AI tools, like ChatGPT, due to uncertainties regarding data handling, preferring human involvement in initial data analysis stages. The discussion shifts to the Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system CLADE-IS, which the speaker's team uses extensively. The tool is praised for its user-friendly interface, efficiency, and affordability, and distinguishes itself by being designed by clinical professionals, making it apt for real-world evidence research. The episode wraps up with a dive into the "Shedding Light into Health" initiative, aiming to promote evidence-based healthcare decisions driven by accurate data usage.
