“Medicine is one of the few industries that doesn’t learn from how it served its past customers,” said Nigam Shah, a Stanford bioinformatics professor who co-founded Atropos and is serving as an adviser to the company. If that shortcoming was understandable in the 1970s, he said, it is no longer excusable today, when providers have access to vast digital records on the care of their patients. “We’re sitting on all of this data on what we and our colleagues have done for similar cases for at least a decade now given the adoption of EHRs [electronic health records],” Shah said. “Let’s just look at what happened.”
