You never know. Just like he was not sure of the benefits of recording all of this. Or Tycho Brahe was not sure of the benefits of all of the celestial observations he made and recorded.
We tend to discover that there is a lot to learn from big data. And most of it is things we did not expect to learn.

You made a typo, the wikipedia entry says 29 March, 1561 – 25 February, 1636.
That’s 74 years, not 114.

I suppose there was no concept of fuel/energy then so I can see where the idea of perspiration came from

I guess one's perspiration would be insensible if it was poop instead of sweat.

I mean, 10 years is research... 30 years? That's just a fetish at that point.

You probably gain nothing. Someone with curiosity would look into it more and learn. Maybe they just improve their own diet because of their findings, or maybe they get into research relating to the field.

Wonder if they had PhD candidates back then.

114 would be for sure, but it's a misconception that people died much earlier in pre-modern times. Assuming you made it past the much higher chance of infant mortality and childhood diseases, odds are you could make it to 70 years old just like nowadays.

They did! Since the early days of the European university system (since the 1100s or so), graduate students have worked under the tutelage/mentorship of one or more advisors as part of their education. As a STEM PhD myself, academic genealogy is fun to look into. For example, Sir Isaac Newton had a student, who had a student, and so on, who eventually had me.
Santorio became the chair of Theoretical Medicine at the University of Padua, which was a very well-known and respected institution (Galileo also taught there, for instance). I'd have to do some digging, but I'm sure he had plenty of PhD students whose lineage continues to the present day.
