Objective data refers to the objective information about patients' health status obtained through observation, examination or other means in medical practice, which does not depend on subjective consciousness or patient reports.

Such as blood pressure, ECG results, blood biochemical indicators, etc. All belong to the category of objective data.
Objective information is a very important part of personal health records. They provide doctors with objective evidence about patients' health status, which is helpful for doctors to make accurate diagnosis and make appropriate treatment plans. For example, if the patient's objective examination results show that his blood pressure is high, the doctor can advise the patient to take corresponding antihypertensive measures based on this information.
