Despite its potential, OSDD faces several challenges:
Data Privacy: The sharing of patient data, even in anonymized form, raises ethical and privacy concerns. Funding: Open source projects often rely on grants and donations, which can be unpredictable. Intellectual Property: The lack of patents can dissuade commercial investment, potentially limiting the development and distribution of new treatments. Standardization: Ensuring data consistency and interoperability across different platforms and studies is a significant hurdle.
