The Department of Veterans Affairs is working with data platform Flow Health on a five-year project to build a medical knowledge graph based on data from 22 million veterans. In the first phase of this project, VA will use its own data, but it hopes that other health care providers and researchers can help fill in gaps by providing access to their data. It is suggested the partnership could lead to further uses of artificial intelligence in private and government health care systems.
