## Access your guide to Healthcare Data for AI

## About our Data

### Structured Data
Discrete, machine-readable fields such as EHR data, claims, codes, medications, procedures, vitals, and genomics.

### Unstructured Data
Free-text clinical notes, chat and portal messages, documentation, and other narrative descriptions of patient care such as doctor-patient audio conversations.

### Imaging & Slides
Radiology, radiology, pathology, WSI, and other medical imaging, along with associated metadata, reports, and annotations.

### Medical Documents
PDF reports, scans, faxed materials, and other forms of documentation that sit in EMR systems and left underutilized.

## Why Protege

### Privacy Protected Without Sacrificing Utility
The ability for a model to reason through data requires a fundamentally different approach to data curation than what exists for traditional RWE research. Our methods ensure compliance while preserving the rich context that is needed to AI training.

### Multimodal at Scale
This means doing the hard work of gathering data from a heterogeneous set of sources, standardizing them, pooling them, linking them, all while ensuring a clear view whether we are talking about a single patient encounter or a whole population of patient journeys.

### Research-backed Dataset Construction
We create datasets for your specific training purpose. We analyze what is needed, and construct datasets that balance the realities of real world data with research robustness to responsibly train unbiased models.

## Data Across Modalities

## Unlocking Multimodal Healthcare at Scale
Protege ingests multiple modalities from trusted data partners to create fully packaged patient encounters to match your specific model training or evaluation needs.

## Faqs

01
**What is unique about data on the Protege platform?**
Protege provides access to one of the largest collections of proprietary training datasets sourced directly from real-world environments in healthcare. As models exhaust publicly available data, performance improvements necessitate access to new, proprietary datasets that are constructed specifically for the purpose of AI training.

02
**How is dataset quality evaluated?**
Quality is evaluated at multiple junctures. Protege first evaluates all source data as it is onboarded into our network on generalizable factors such as completeness, metadata richness, technical quality, and relevance for model training. Quality is then evaluated again for each customer’s specific dataset, considering use case specific utility and usability.

03
**Can datasets be customized or sourced for specific needs?**
Yes. Many AI teams require datasets tailored to a specific research or product objective, and Protege works directly with customers to define those requirements.

04
**How is privacy and personal data handled?**
Protege is designed with privacy and responsible data use as core principles. We work closely with data providers and specialized privacy partners to ensure that datasets are handled in compliance with relevant regulations and licensing agreements.

05
**Can I preview a sample of the data before licensing?**
Yes. Protege works with prospective buyers to help them understand exactly what data is available before a licensing agreement is finalized.
