Measuring clinical response is vital for several reasons:
1. Assessing Treatment Efficacy: It helps in determining whether a treatment is effective. 2. Guiding Public Health Policies: Effective clinical responses can lead to the formulation of public health policies that aim to control or eliminate diseases. 3. Resource Allocation: Understanding clinical response helps in the efficient allocation of healthcare resources. 4. Patient Care: It aids in tailoring individual patient treatments based on their responses.
