In this episode, we uncover the surprising reality behind your medical records: even though your electronic health record (EHR) contains rich, personal data, most of it goes unused. We explore why that is — and how new technologies are beginning to unlock its potential.

Topics Covered:

• What’s actually inside your EHR — and why it often stays siloed

• The barriers to health data sharing, from privacy laws to unclear incentives

• How synthetic data is revolutionizing research and AI training

• The rise of digital twins: virtual versions of patients used to personalize care

• What it takes to safely and ethically use personal health data in medicine
