Solving Health AI’s Data Problem

AI in healthcare has a data problem. Fragmented data remains one of the biggest challenges, and bottlenecks the development and deployment of AI solutions across life sciences, payers, and providers. Legacy paper-driven workflows and fragmented technology perpetuate silos, making it difficult to create a comprehensive, real-time picture of patient health. Datavant is leveraging Databricks and AWS technology to solve this problem at scale. Through our partnership with Databricks, we are centralizing storage of clinical data from what is arguably the largest health data network so that we can transform it into structured, AI-ready data – and shave off 80 percent of the work of deploying a new AI use case. Learn how we are handling the complexity of this effort while preserving the integrity of source data. We’ll also share early use cases now available to our healthcare customers.
