Clinical Data Correlation

Meaning

Clinical Data Correlation is the statistical process of identifying and quantifying the degree of relationship or interdependence between various health metrics, ranging from objective lab values and subjective patient-reported outcomes to physiological data collected from digital sensors. This analytical step is vital in endocrinology and wellness to move beyond single-point diagnostics and establish a holistic understanding of how different biological systems, such as the endocrine and metabolic systems, interact. A strong correlation suggests a functional linkage between two or more variables.
