Healthcare tech's real bottleneck: data moves but meaning gets lost
rvp · x · 2026-09-27
@antgrasso argues that digital tools only expand healthcare's potential if different systems can understand each other.
Using a lab result as an example: sending the number isn't enough — the receiving system must know what the result refers to, which unit was used, when it was recorded, and which patient it belongs to. Without that context, data travels but its meaning doesn't. Interoperability solves this, with standards like HL7 FHIR providing the common language.
