EHR and GenAI

Date: August 10, 2024

Unstructured clinical notes from EHR data systems is such an untapped resource.

We will see more companies gathering this data from different health systems to create new solutions. These innovations will push the boundaries in healthcare.

The challenge is not just getting the data but making it useful. Gen AI helps by anonymizing data, extracting key concepts, and discovering unknown associations.

Small health data aggregators are crucial in this regard. They provide a training ground for LLMs, making them better for specific tasks. These focused LLMs outperform general ones by a wide margin.

From a data strategy perspective, it seems like a natural evolution in hindsight. Nevertheless, the standardization of health data and systems, along with technological breakthroughs, have brought us to this point.
