Episode notes
Startup Origin In Healthcare Data
- Srini Rao started Datycs after working on telecom startups and then helping community health centers analyze EHR data.
- Early work showed most analytics players ignored messy unstructured clinical notes, which became Datycs' focus.
Scale Gives A Practical Edge
- Datycs has processed roughly 15 million clinical charts, giving broad exposure to note variety across EHRs and regions.
- That dataset advantage enables building extraction pipelines tailored to many regulatory and clinical needs.
Making Extracted Data Interoperable
- Datycs converts extracted information into FHIR resources to enable future standardized exchange.
- Storing data as FHIR made interoperability downstream integration possible once partners deployed APIs.
