Miruna Sasu: Decoding the Data with COTA

Meg welcomes Miruna Sasu, President and CEO of COTA, an RWE service founded by doctors, engineers, and data scientists to create clarity from fragmented and often inaccessible real-world data to provide a comprehensive picture of cancer that can be used to advance carepaths and research.

Meg and Miruna discuss utilizing patient-generated data, difficulties with EMR, the drug development and clinical trial processes, as well as ethical considerations and patient burden. Miruna reflects on her own personal experience with cancer diagnoses for both of her primary caregivers: her grandparents. She also shares her mentorship experience and provides advice to get involved and take control of your care as a patient.
