Our view: A smarter healthcare system is a connected healthcare system. The average individual healthcare record, including digital x-rays and scan information, contains 12 million novels worth of data. The trouble is, most of that information is trapped, disconnected. A smarter health system connects data so those who treat our illnesses, heal our injuries and keep us healthy can do so even better.
