Summary
The article discusses how data democratization can address significant challenges in healthcare by improving the accessibility and usability of vast amounts of unstructured data generated by healthcare institutions. Data silos, lack of interoperability, and the fragmentation of electronic health record (EHR) systems hinder efficient data use, delaying critical medical interventions. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and technologies like natural language processing (NLP) can help extract valuable information from unstructured data, enabling better patient care and operational efficiencies. Despite these advantages, the article notes that financial, operational, and technical barriers must be overcome to fully realize the benefits of data democratization and AI in healthcare.
