> The Surgisphere registry is an aggregation of the deidentified electronic health records of customers of QuartzClinical, Surgisphere’s machine learning program and data analytics platform. Surgisphere directly integrates with the EHRs of our hospital customers to provide them actionable data insights to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

I would be concerned if I was a patient whose doctor used Surgisphere. It sounds like Surgisphere has full access to electronic health data, and it's not clear if patients clearly consented to this...otherwise they'd be able to release more detailed information.

They say it's "deidentified", but if you have a list of age, gender, medical conditions, location, and medications taken (etc) how hard would it be to "reidentify" someone?
