Selling medical records to AI companies: what to know
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Medical records can be valuable to AI companies because they contain specialized clinical reasoning. They are typically licensed under a written agreement rather than sold outright, and preparation usually involves rigorous de-identification under health privacy law.
Why it's valuable
Medical records contain specialized clinical reasoning. Large volumes, long histories and specialized domains increase interest.
How to prepare it
Preparation commonly involves rigorous de-identification under health privacy law. Requirements should be agreed with the buyer before any work begins.
Licensing terms to set
Define permitted uses (training, evaluation), prohibited uses (resale, re-identification), duration, exclusivity, deletion and payment timing.
