I worked for a couple of years providing modelling services to health institutions. We did the heavy work under the hood, while med practicioners were mostly interested in getting academic papers published.

For companies with the enterprise expertise it is difficult to enter with the right mindset because sales cycle ib healthcare is way too long.

Confirm that that major botlenecks are indeed getting data in shape for modelling. Feature engineering is key and domain specific. Forget brute force approaches like DL.

Also most AI practicioners in the field seem to ignore that doctors dont need to know who is sick but who is actionable. Its a completely different game.
