    There is the critical and longstanding issue of how accurate and comprehensive the medical records are, i.e. GIGO.

    But in principle it has serious potential, on efficiency grounds alone.

    Yeah, medical records are extremely GIGO. I'll give you my favorite example. A neurologist said I might have a certain genetic disorder, and to see a geneticist. I asked my PCP for a referral for a geneticist, to see if I had this condition. They gave me a referral and then put it on my chart as a diagnosis!

    @CRG, do you have any contact with the people involved, or any idea about the cost of applying this technology to large health data sources?

    Sorry no. I can't even recall which Twitter follow I picked up the link from. However it seems Ben Goldacre is part of the team behind it: https://twitter.com/user/status/1702663011666702428
