Thanks for the link. The unfortunate part is that data is very valuable in terms of cold hard cash. Even more so, because healthcare data is difficult to acquire and rarely generated (think number of hospital visits/year vs how many search queries/year). 

 

Even in the link, GE (which sells one of the largest, expensive, enterprise-y ehr's out there) has a project called healthymagination, which looks and is awesome. However, when you get down to the nuts and bolts of it, they are giving away reports on healthcare data, they are not giving away healthcare data for other people to consume. 

 

Though this looks interesting: http://www.health2challenge.org/

They've got a few developer challenges that are due at the end of summer. Maybe there's enough people in Hawaii with an interest that could take a crack at this?

Hi Marcus,

 

Thanks!  It's good to be here. 

Aloha Marcus, great to meet you yesterday! I am always really excited to meet people that have a skill to offer the world like yourself. I'm sure I'll be seeing you around now, hope to see you at the TEDx event this weekend. I just wanted to show you the website I mentioned yesterday here. As you can see it is really flashy and eye grabbing, but not very interactive. Would you like to help me by giving a few pointers? Also, check out our TechHui Group here.

Marcus, glad you were able to attend the session with Charles Du. I'm impressed with your credentials and interests! I think I can learn a lot from you. -Beryl

Welcome Marcus! We are glad you joined.
