Working in NHS Scotland opened my eyes to how fragmented our healthcare data is. If you’ve ever had to repeatedly retell your medical history, you already know this. Data standards communities are doing incredible work to make interoperability possible, but the user interfaces are still lagging behind. And yet the legal foundation is already there. In many countries, patients have the right to a copy of their healthcare data, and providers have a duty to supply it in a standardised format. The problem is that too few people know this, and even fewer have the tools to act on it. Managing your health data should be a seamless, intuitive experience, even across borders. I want to play my part in bringing this inevitable future forward. This is why I'm announcing Plotline. An open-source initiative that will put your health data where it belongs: with you. Visit plotline.care to read more and subscribe for updates. To any healthtech people reading this: if you're interested in getting involved, send me a DM. I'd love to chat.
