The risks and rewards of a health data commons - O'Reilly Radar - 1 views

  • It’s pretty hard to do anything beyond a gift. It’s more like organ donation, where you don’t get to decide where the organs go. What I’m working on is basically a donation, not a conditional gift.
  • people’s attitudes toward risk and benefit change depending on their circumstances. Their own context really affects what they think is risky and what they think isn’t risky.
  • I believe that the early data donors are likely to be people for whom there isn’t a lot of risk perceived because the health system already knows that they’re sick.

  • Big data has the same problems as small data, but bigger. Data-heads frequently allow the beauty of their mathematical models to obscure the unreliability of the numbers they feed into them.
  • They can also miss the big picture in their pursuit of ever more granular data.
  • if firms can preserve a little scepticism, they can surely squeeze important insights from the ever-growing store of data
