Misconception #2 is that there's some "data moat" or whatever.
- caddemon 5y agoI am aware there isn't, what I'm saying is there should be - particularly for dense datatypes like EEG that we probably aren't fully leveraging at the moment.
- potatoman22 5y agoThat's false. Both Epic and Cerner, the largest EMR companies, have databases of millions and millions of patients. They're used for research, and stuff.
- caddemon 5y agoYeah but all the EMR data I've seen have just been doctor notes, some prescription info, standard clinical scales, etc. Not that this can't be interesting, but there's not really a major database for richer data types like imaging or EEG (AFAIK)
