Blue Shield of CA and Anthem announced a health exchange to store patient info a few days ago...
Obviously PicnicHealth is onto something but they will have some challenges as they don't have massive relationships with providers. At launch it will have 9 million patient records without even blinking

- nogaleviner 12y agoFounder here again. This is super cool. I haven't been able to get too much detail on it yet. Most of the health exchanges haven't gone far because they start with government of foundation funding and then have no business model, but with these guys behind it, they actually make sense. We'd be thrilled if we could focus on building a really good product for making medical data useful for patients instead of building infrastructure for moving it around.
- r0m4n0 12y agoVery true, execution of a health exchange infrastructure has been riddled with troubles in the past. Interfacing with patient data is still a great idea, practically nonexistent today. a central location for data will only make your service more robust and require less integration.
