How to make the output of a command into the variable for data

Hello,

I am using fileparts to extract the file names and use that as the variable for the data in the struct below. How do I make output "Patient001" as the variable name for the struct that is currently called "PatientData"? without having to manually doing it. Eventually I want to be able to loop through hundreds of patient files.

Thank you

file = "Patient001.pdf";

[pathstr,PatientName,ext] = fileparts(file)

PatientName =

"Patient001"

PatientData = {1, 2, 3, 4}

See the Generate Field Names from Variables doc page.
