The American Heart Association announced the conjoining of its Precision Medicine Platform and the digital data management infrastructure of Hitachi Vantara to improve the platform’s accessibility for health care research.
According to press release from the AHA, the secure cloud-based solution is equipped for data management and analysis, including tools for machine learning and artificial intelligence.
“Moving data science and health care forward is at the heart of everything we do at the American Heart Association,” Jennifer Hall, PhD, chief of data science and director of the AHA’s Institute for Precision Cardiovascular Medicine, said in the release. “The Precision Medicine Platform provides cutting-edge solutions for data management and opens data access and analysis to all researchers, everywhere, which can help bring health care solutions to the general public.”
According to the release, the AHA Precision Medicine Platform has already been used for the following applications:
- applied AI to patient angiograms to identify those in greatest need for a coronary stent; and
- repurposed 3 million knee MRI images in order to better predict artery blockage and CV risk, reducing time to process the MRI images from 4 hours to 2 minutes.
“The American Heart Association and Hitachi Vantara bring together the best of medicine, science and technology to enable data-driven outcomes towards society’s most difficult medical challenges,” Paul Watson, vice president of health care and life sciences at Hitachi Vantara, said in the release. “Together, we will dramatically shift the industry standard for data sharing and research collaboration.”
