Open to any feedback on this here or over email (jaan@onefact.org)!<p>I quit academia to start a non-profit focused on using open source to analyze the public hospital price transparency data.<p>We are now making similar dashboards for every hospital in the country, and need all the help we can get if you would be interested in using the latest geospatial mapping tools, databases (duckdb) and large language models to make sense of this massive amount of data.<p>Through a data bounty (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dolthub.com&#x2F;repositories&#x2F;onefact&#x2F;paylesshealth" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dolthub.com&#x2F;repositories&#x2F;onefact&#x2F;paylesshealth</a>) we collected 4000+ hospital price sheets and made them public here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;data.payless.health&#x2F;#hospital_price_transparency&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;data.payless.health&#x2F;#hospital_price_transparency&#x2F;</a>. This was on HN previously.<p>Grateful for all your support so far!!
