Question 1

Is your business model solely focused on selling data or do you intend to monetize without relying on consumers to opt in for data sharing?

Accepted Answer

We could imagine users paying for additional services, such as: a telehealth call, sending health history to a new doctor, or opting out of contributing their data to research

Question 2

Great Concept. Can you further describe how you are using AI? What safe-guards do you have in place to reduce / eliminate errors committed by your AI-driven mapping infrastructure? Are you legally liable for errors committed by the system?

Accepted Answer

Our mapping infrastructure is skewed to be higher precision with lower recall. This means we don't incorrectly map data elements, but we may miss mapping data elements. We use a human-in-the-loop process to catch those misses. Re: liability, the short answer is no. If/when we take on more complex use cases (e.g. sending data to doctors) that may change - but then so would our QA processes!

Question 3

from an IT security perspective. What types of safeguards do you have in place to prevent data breaches and HIPAA violations when maintaining the patient data?

Accepted Answer

Hi Robert - Our platform is HIPAA compliant (although it is not actually regulated by HIPAA). We then we layer on additional security measures to keep the data safe - borrowing from best practices across healthcare and financial services.

Question 4

Dear Fortunato, As a former end user for Epic in healthcare setting. How much access would insurance companies have to Wingspan? Can this eliminate healthcare fraud? Could this make it easier for people to obtain social security benefits? What cost would be associated with an ...

Accepted Answer

Hi Cassandra! By default, insurance companies would not have access to information in Wingspan. We could imagine insurance companies being interested in purchasing population level (de-identified, HIPAA compliant) data sets. We could also see users exporting their Wingspan data and using that output as their medical records when they applied for benefits - or as a way to send their medical records to a new doctor.

Question 5

Love this concept, and it resonates deeply with my personal experiences. As far as selling data as the business model, what data is being sold? Is it generalized aggregated data?

Accepted Answer

Hi Brian - we'll sell anonymized, aggregated data that was compliant with HIPAA de-identification standards. Typically these data sets will include lab results, diagnoses, allergies, procedures, vital signs, immunizations, etc. Thanks for your question!
