I worked at a company in the early 00s that did exactly this -- natural language processing of medical records for meta analysis. Even when it worked, we couldn't sell it for much. The budget of each study was too low to really build a business around, and the low number of potential buyers didn't help things.

Eventually we pivoted the tech to a B2B SaaS play because it was too hard to sell.
