Life or Death - Fostering an Open Health Data Market
We will never have enough doctors, psychiatrists, nutritionists in the world - how do we overcome this problem? In this episode we talk with health data and machine learning expert Dr. Jaan Aaltosaar, who is a Postdoctoral Officer of Research at Columbia University Irving Medical Center focused on machine learning methods for health and science. Jaan has a background working with health data from Princeton, Deepmind and Google Brain. We discuss the complexities of the current medical data systems, how to yourself gather data and what the implications are, how you yourself can utilize data for your own benefit, such as genome sequencing. We discuss open source's role in the development of the data markets and how governance of AI/ML models could evolve to fit a growing need for more utilization of data in a way that works for entire ecosystems of individuals.
