Inspiration

Unmet needs in Health:

1. Data is a valuable resource: especially,

• Healthcare data: locked by EPIC and hospitals. Patients need to request it in a cumbersome process for access to their own data.
• The ever growing wearable data: sleep, exercise, device habits, diet, home medical devices

2. People:

• Are kept out of the loop (both in transparency and in profit): Big companies, big pharma/research institutions are already using your data without your awareness (and sometimes without your consent)

3. Small entities (researchers, clinicians, small NFPs):

• Health-related data requires privacy treatment: and small entities cannot afford/do this treatment, which raises cost of access

4. Insurance companies:

• generally operate in a passive outdated model: use the small payments of many people to cover the large health costs of a few, and take a cut
• Some have started active measures, like incentivising weight and cholesterol loss.
• However, more are scared to do it, as there is not enough data on the impact to risk and profitability
