The significance of focusing on uncontrolled noise factors

Exploring the potential of health data science

Abstract

Clinical trial data is acquired in an environment where noise factors (characteristics of patients, fam-ilies, doctors, hospitals, etc.) are controlled in order to verify scientific hypotheses. Real world data, on the other hand, is accumulated through daily activities that do not control noise factors. However, previous clinical trials in Japan valued the significance of not eliminating noise factors. I would like to consider the potential of health data science by reevaluating the underlying philosophy..
