More and more healthcare companies are structuring and automating their approach to solving difficult medical problems. The latest companies to join the push to drive down healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes through cloud based computing technologies are Humedica, Inc (Boston) and Pfizer, Inc. (NYSE: PFE). The two companies have entered into a multi-year strategic alliance to develop advanced healthcare capabilities based on "real world data" and advanced analytical technology.
The combination of Humedica, a cloud solution based clinical intelligence company, and Pfizer, the world’s largest research-based biopharmaceutical company, will results in a data-driven collaborative research effort. As part of the effort, Humedica will gather and normalize de-identified healthcare data from disparate systems and Pfizer will utilize the information to develop and commercialize medicines to prevent and treat health conditions.
Commenting on the agreement was Michael Weintraub, Humedica’s president and CEO, “Pfizer's leadership position in global healthcare is focused on the goal of delivery of medicines at optimal effectiveness and efficiency. Humedica is pleased to be Pfizer's clinical informatics and analytics partner, applying Big Data solutions across the continuum of care.”
The importance of leading-edge analytics and real world data sets to improve the overall health of patients was underscored by Geno Germano, President and General Manager, Pfizer Specialty Care Business Unit. “The collaboration with Humedica will provide us with powerful information about healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. By combining leading-edge analytics with unique real world data sets, we believe we can identify actionable insights and potentially improve patient outcomes and overall health.”
More agreements are expected to emerge as the power of cloud based solutions and big data become better known. Healthcare and neutraceutical companies are expected to tap into real world nutrition data sets and apply cloud based analytics to determine the best diets and nutrition programs for best patient outcomes.
