So,
In my dreams, there is a revolution coming. A very quiet one.
Computers keep getting smarter, and because of what I've seen Watson to be capable of, there will be a way to analyze Electronic Medical Record systems in an anonymous, bulk sort of way and extract meaningful research data from normal clinical operations of a hospital system. The problem here I think is law more than computing, and I suspect that there are going to be some radical changes in medical /data law in the next few years. There is a possibility that some of those changes will be beneficial.
