Big data work on healthcare is stymied not only by inconsistent collection, but also healthcare privacy laws and a lack of standardization across the industry.

Big data work on healthcare is stymied not only by inconsistent collection, but also healthcare privacy laws and a lack of standardization across the industry. So many medical device manufacturers are holed up in their little silos and have no interest in contributing to the general knowledge. They are in it to make money, not to advance the science.
- plagiarist 3y agoHealthcare privacy laws are not a hindrance in the US. Basically all one needs is a business agreement with a HIPAA-compliant entity and one can send PHI data. And certainly so if the patient opts in. So I would say it is 100% due to the siloing and proprietary enshittification endemic to the industry. They don't want to help science, they want vendor lock-in.
