> GlacierMD was explicitly an attempt to filter, aggregate and make available high-quality health-care information (i.e. improve the quality of the signal, which is necessary for efficient market functioning), and it did not find a value proposition in the market. Except it doesn't -- what GlacierMD was trying to do is something that's currently done by humans at scale. Which he would have known if he understood the market better. This is a centralized function that is performed much higher up the chain and ends up in clinician / patient hands in the form of clinical guidelines. This is maybe a useful tool for researchers to be used as one input in the development of clinical guidelines. But the functionality it delivers can be done manually (and will continue to be for liability reasons). In this case, the market worked. The author should be thankful he was able to get out of it only $40k in the hole.
