Startups like BioLayer are pioneering a shift from centralized data extraction to patient data sovereignty, utilizing federated learning and on-chain provenance to build a more equitable, secure, and powerful future for health AI. The result is a healthcare data monopoly. This centralization not only stifles competition from smaller innovators but also perpetuates a system of patient data exploitation. BioLayer’s Solution: Bringing the Algorithm to the DataBioLayer, a decentralized health AI startup, is operationalizing the principles of DeSci to dismantle the centralized data monopoly. The era of the healthcare data monopoly is ending; the era of decentralized, patient-powered AI has arrived.
