Episode Synopsis

In How to Break Data Silos in Rare Diseases, Francisco Aguiar from BI4ALL joins me to explore how data and AI can truly reshape the rare disease ecosystem. He explains why data integration, interoperability, and literacy are essential to speed up diagnosis and empower patients.



From real-world evidence to patient registries, Francisco highlights how data helps healthcare professionals, researchers, and Pharma companies work together for more personalised care. We discuss Europe's journey toward a connected health data space and the crucial role of patient advocates in driving this change.



Finally, we reflect on how sharing data ethically and collaboratively can give patients a stronger voice, enabling faster insights, better treatments, and more hope for the rare disease community.
