Databricks, Data- and AI pioneers, and Databricks today launched Databricks’ first Lakehouse platform for healthcare and life organizations.
Databricks Lakehouse for Healthcare and Life Sciences removes legacy data structure that hinder innovation in healthcare and drug discovery. They created data silos that made advanced analytics difficult.
Healthcare organisations can use a single platform to achieve precision medicine. It integrates data management, analytics, and advanced AI use cases such as disease prediction, medical imaging classification, and biomarker identification.
Australian tech news reports indicated databricks enabled the creation of a new breed in AI and data innovation within healthcare. Cognoa is an AI-powered paediatric behavioral health company that develops diagnostic and therapeutic products. This allows children and their families to have better lives and get treatment faster and more efficiently.
One blood draw can help scientists detect cancerous DNA in the blood and provide early screening during annual physicals. Precision medicine organizations also use data to develop differentiated genomics-based and patient-specific transplant strategies.
Databricks’ Lakehouse for Healthcare and Life Sciences provides tailored data and AI solutions for customers to solve industry problems. Organisations can use analytics accelerators and open-source libraries like the one that addresses genomics to jumpstart their projects and save data scientists or engineers many weeks, if not months. These solutions include:
- Disease Risk Prediction: Based on a patient’s past history, ML can predict the likelihood that they will develop a condition.
- Digital Pathology Classification: Quickly analyzes thousands of slides using deep learning to detect metastasis.
- Real World Evidence Suite lets you seamlessly ingest a variety of data types, map them into analytic data models like OMOP, create cohorts with tools such as propensity match matching, and create cohorts.
