How NIBS benefits ONDRI’s research
Video: Watch the NIBS team describe ONDRI’s data quality process
Neuroinformatics & Biostatistics (NIBS) is the research platform devoted to the review, cleaning and analysis of the data from all ONDRI assessment platforms.
A bit about neuroinformatics
Data quality is a high priority for ONDRI. The ONDRI NIBS team is highly specialized. The team focuses on developing standardized methods to achieve high quality data across complex assessments and neurodegenerative disease groups. They organize and share data in a meaningful way for researchers and clinicians to study.
A bit about biostatistics
NIBS scientists use computational models and analytical tools. They conduct detailed reviews and quality checks to validate recorded information. They also check for atypical or missing information. This important scientific process is an integral part of the data collection and sharing process.
