Observational analysis revealed that datasets like MIMIC can boost clinical innovation, suggesting equitable access empowers scientific communities.
Datasets together with active scientific communities prepared to leverage them can contribute to scientific progress and facilitate making research more equitable. In this study we found that MIMIC, despite its limited amount of funding, managed to provide higher impact per dollar spent through accessible data communities. These findings support the notion that making clinical data available empowers innovation which directly addresses clinical concerns and can set new standards for inclusivity.
