Hospitalist/intake physician hospital notes matched to ICD10 codes. Extremely useful and difficult to find.

#52why start with medical data? with hipaa it seems (rightfully so) to contain some of the most heavily guarded types of data out there.

#53Costs of all the procedures for each hospital. Whatever people get charged.
Medicare provider utilization and payment data (which is a large percentage of the total market in the United States) has been publicly available[1] for several years now. The Wall Street Journal won a Pulitzer Prize[2] for the analysis they did of the public data sets.

#54Please oh please, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The potential for ML is absolutely huge. Some people have already collected or are working to collect genetic and other data on a large scale [1] [2] [3], so it does exist.
CFS is interesting because:
a) Patients' symptoms appear to fluctuate "randomly" but are actually typically a complex function of genetics, blood markers, exercise, diet, medication and other factors.
b) There is considerable low-hanging fruit for pattern recognition, since despite the prevalence of the disease almost nobody has done serious ML work in this space.
c) Huge market opportunity - prevalence is comparable to HIV, and specialists often cite CFS as causing more disability [4] [5].

#55We have over a billion data points at http://semantic.md with high value context that we use to service companies in the space.
Would be exciting/somewhat disruptive if YC democratized access to it.

#56IBS data. Since DoD threw money at this problem after the Iraq war, we've discovered that IBS occurs in about 1 in 10 who have had food poisoning. This is the biggest advancement made in the field in decades. We are close to putting this to bed but just need more data.

#57Easy, picnichealth.com database. Curated medical database. This thing is a gold mine.

#58EKG data. I've never had an EKG done where the computer was even close to predicting correctly what was going on. As someone who does DSP, this is not that difficult of a problem a RNN and lots of data.

#59Blood glucose levels as time series from continuous glucose monitors with additional tagged data like food intake, exercise, and sleep. Each record needs the obvious human-data like sex, age, weight, nationality/ethnicity, type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

#60Blood test reports of all kinds, images of smears.
