The Cloud Enables the “Precision” in Precision Medicine
Precision Medicine promises to improve patient outcomes through more personalized, effective treatments however legacy IT systems hinder this mission. Cloud platforms are the solution, providing the ability to cost effectively store vast amounts of data, analyze disparate data, acquire data directly from patients and apply machine learning models to uncover the most nuanced relationships. The cloud also disrupts how we think about buying software. On-premise hardware and high-priced software licenses don’t lend themselves to the way you want to work – agilely, collaboratively and cost effectively. The cloud is the great enabler for your Precision Medicine initiatives.
