Since patients' medical records, images, scans and insurance records are stored across different file formats and systems, it can be challenging for doctors and researchers to sort through this mountain of information – especially on a larger scale.
For instance, as much as 97% of the data produced by hospitals goes unused, according to a report from Deloitte .
