Meta taps 5M health records to let doctors write AI-assisted research
shuchaobi · x · 2026-10-15
Meta's health workstream ran a project giving a small group of medical experts a Muse Wonder coding scaffold with access to a licensed database of 5M electronic health records, letting them answer arbitrary clinical questions — e.g., whether statin users show higher later-life diabetes rates — with AI doing the data research.
The bet: combining human experts, a strong coding model, and direct data access unlocks new scientific insight. Reposting, hwchung27 tied it to his mental model of AI as the convex hull of humanity's collective knowledge: much new knowledge sits as an overhang accessible via interpolation across a fragmented expert landscape.
