# Healthcare AI Needs Contextual Data

Current RWD is great at telling you *what* happened but it completely misses the context — the physician, system, and social factors (SDOH) — that greatly influence patient outcomes, including survival.

**You can't answer "why" patients have different outcomes without context.**
