What Do People Misunderstand About Government Funded Projects?

People may not understand how many facets government agencies cover.

There are a lot of projects that don’t make the headlines.

For example, the CDC leads a project I worked on where MITRE is building cervical cancer prevention tech for doctors. That’s one example, but representative of the kind of niche things most people aren’t aware of.

Also, the healthcare field has lagged behind in the past 10-20 years in terms of data standardization. There’s a lot of room for innovation and improvement, as there is so much that can be learned from this valuable healthcare data.

You’re seeing a ton of rising healthcare startups in tech. I think a large part is people are noticing there's work to be done in this space.
