Is that a solved problem? Or is that a market opportunity? A sort of EMR ombudsman for the Average Joe?
What Amino has done can easily be done with anonymized data. They only need to know patient age, patient gender, physician, location of physician, what the physician billed for (I assume the ICD-9 codes). I doubt there's enough information there to identify individuals.
This isn't just a rare exception. Search for any improbable condition and Amino will find physicians that are supposedly treating it.
Personally, I think this is a step in the right direction. I can easily see this data set getting larger and adding in other useful scenarios that would make it more useful for patients like me.
