- ballenf 6y agoICD code licensing is highway robbery. I would guess most health tech startups also need those. And those prices look reasonable compared to drug database license costs. And the real killer is meaningful use certification. The whole field seems engineered to prevent competition. So while ISO costs are unjustifiable, they’re a pittance compared to other compliance costs that most in the field will encounter.

- biofox 6y agoNot sure about licensing, but one important difference with ICD codes is that you can access them for free: https://icd.who.int/en https://icd.who.int/en
