Rare Diseases


"There are approximately 7,000 rare diseases affecting an estimated 30 million people in the United States."

– Janet Woodcock, FDA

The Trio Health and NORD Collaboration


The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), the country’s leading voice for the rare disease patient community, is collaborating with Trio Health to leverage its innovative platform to monitor real-world patients. This unique insight will allow physicians, drug manufacturers, regulatory agencies and advocacy organizations to better serve and improve patient outcomes.

"The Power of Patients
Informing Our Understanding of Rare Diseases"

This important collection of real-world insights is informed by scientifically validated, patient-reported, patient-experience data collected by NORD's registry community. It was developed in partnership with six patient organizations and features a foreword by Janet Woodcock, MD Director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluations and Research.

The Power of Patients highlights the critical importance of patient participation in registries and how essential natural history data for rare diseases is to the research and development of new treatments. With 90% of the more than 7,000 rare diseases still without an FDA-approved treatment, that is progress vital to the lives of the millions of Americans affected by rare diseases.
