Introduction: The Clinical Burden
The weights of unstructured data.
Clinical expertise is often trapped in text. Up to 80% of valuable patient data is stored in unstructured formats—discharge letters, surgical reports, and clinical notes.
What this means: For clinicians and researchers, extracting this data manually is an overwhelming burden that requires years of tedious work. This fragmentation results in "data silos" where critical information remains inaccessible, slowing down life-saving research and limiting the potential for large-scale clinical insights.
