That's absolutely true. We work with a lot of technical founders who are turning their research into a diagnostic medical devices. One of the first questions we always ask is: how will the information produced by your device help clinical decision making? More data is _nice_ but if it doesn't alter the course of treatment, it's pointless. Sometimes it's okay if the doctor doesn't know if the problem is A or B if the treatment for A and B is the same.
