The challenges, including but not limited to deployment, sustainability, cost optimization, collaboration, governance, security, rapid response, reliability, stability, scalability, and convenience, restrict each other and may not be naturally alleviated through traditional hardware upgrades or protocol enhancements. This article attempts to borrow data science thinking and practices in the business realm, which we call the data industry viewpoint, to improve RPDRs. %M 35544299 %R 10.2196/32845 %U https://www.jmir.org/2022/5/e32845 %U https://doi.org/10.2196/32845 %U http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/35544299
