Unlocking the Power of Health Data with Dr. Xabier Michelena Vegas
In this episode, recorded at EULAR 2025 in Barcelona, we sit down with Dr. Xabier Michelena Vegas to explore the critical topic of health data harmonization and the vital role of interoperability in modern healthcare systems. Our conversation delves into the future of electronic health records (EHRs), the importance of structured data formats such as openEHR, and how these frameworks can improve the way clinical data is collected, managed, and analyzed.
We also discussed with him his recent EULAR poster presentation, where he shared insights from a study analyzing more than 26,000 free-text clinical notes using unsupervised machine learning. He explains how traditionally overlooked data within EHRs can reveal meaningful patterns and clusters, opening up new possibilities for clinical insight and knowledge discovery.
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on data standardization, the value of semantic structure, and how the right digital foundations can unlock the full potential of patient data—for both clinical care and research.
