Explanation

Structured data is organized in a defined, consistent format - typically rows and columns in a relational database with fixed field types. Blood pressure history consists of discrete, numeric measurements (systolic/diastolic values) recorded at specific timestamps, fitting neatly into a database table with predefined fields. X-ray images are unstructured data (binary image files with no inherent schema). Surgery video recordings are also unstructured (video files). Physician-written notes are unstructured because they are free-form text with no enforced format or schema. Blood pressure readings are the clearest example of structured, easily queryable healthcare data.
