Nordic countries offer excellent conditions for register studies

Nordic countries provide ideal conditions for register studies, with similar laws, electronic data collection, and nation-wide cohort creation. 

Way to success: RWD + PRO = RWE

  • RWD (Real World Data): Collected from national registers, hospital data-lakes including various electronic medical records, and private healthcare providers.
  • PRO (Patient Reported Outcomes): Data collected through Oriola’s Research Pharmacy Network (around 150 active pharmacies in Finland), patient organisations and private healthcare providers.
