There is a weekly startup-and-markets newsletter. It is named after the daily column where it is called. Would you like to receive it in your inbox on Saturdays? If you sign up, you'll get notifications.
New trends are one of my favorite things to spot. When several trends coalesce into a wave, I like it more. The health tech sector is benefiting from both the rise of open data and the democratization of data, as well as privacy-preserving synthetic data. Let's see what we can find.
It caught my attention when I heard that Syntegra would be releasing free data with fake patient data. Not because it was releasing open data, not because it was sharing synthetic data, but because it was doing all of those things at the same time.
Open data is cool in it's own way. BigScience's large language model, BLOOM, is a free and open alternative to Openai's GPT-3. The expectation is that BLOOM will be used for research. The data made available by Syntegra and Tuva Health are for health tech companies.
Health tech right now benefits not only from the rise of open data, but also from the democratization of data analytics and privacy-preserving synthetic data. Hey, everyone!
