Dell Services Leverages Big Data, Analytics, and Cloud for Future-Ready Healthcare Solutions

PLANO, Tex., Nov. 24 — Dell Services’ leadership in healthcare IT and clinical services continues to grow, with the unveiling of a new analytics platform partnership and data management tools that unlock information and empower caregivers to provide measurable, value-based care.

Dell Services has signed a multi-year agreement with Zebra Medical Vision to deliver a world-class platform for medical imaging research that integrates with the Dell Cloud Clinical Archive, which currently hosts more than 10 billion medical images and 150 million medical studies.

The company also announced the integration of cloud-based analytics software BizEye from MphRx to the Dell Cloud Clinical Archive portal that allows delivery teams to leverage clinical and operational data in easy to understand key performance indicators, which is critical to providing quality care.

By incorporating imaging analytics and aggregating data into user-defined dashboards, Dell’s healthcare cloud customers can make better decisions and spend more time with patients.

Dell and Zebra Medical Vision Transform Patient Care through Automated Health Insights, Decision Support Tools, and Advanced Research and Analytics Platforms

Dell’s Cloud Clinical Archive is expanding its capabilities by integrating Zebra Medical Vision’s analytics and research platforms into its core offering. With the analytics platform, Dell will now offer any clinical site access to algorithms that provide screening and diagnostic decision support, assist in creating disease-based risk profiles and help accurately identify candidates for preventive care and wellness programs. Having access to this type of information can identify patients at risk for osteoporosis, cardiac disease, liver disease or other pathologies, which can be treated more effectively when discovered early.

The business partnership provides a comprehensive platform for medical imaging research that will accelerate scientific discovery and innovation. It provides large scale, cloud-based access to qualified clinical data and research tools that can help create new machine learning-based algorithms. By driving research towards patient care initiatives, the partnership has the potential to impact the cost of care delivery and create better preventive care for patients worldwide.

“The Dell Cloud Clinical Archive combined with Zebra’s unique imaging analytics algorithms and research platform will bring about true change in the way healthcare is practiced, which enables caregivers to provide patients with more personalized care,” said Sid Nair, vice president and global general manager, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Dell Services. “A clinical analytics platform at this scale and integrated data management tools help healthcare organizations collaborate and improve the way we approach utilizing big data in healthcare.”

“Big data analytics have taken an increasingly growing role in many facets of business. The healthcare market has just begun to implement and benefit from large-scale analytics in a meaningful way,” said Elad Benjamin, co-founder and chief executive officer, Zebra Medical Vision. “Working with Dell, we will collaborate with the best machine learning and computer vision research groups worldwide. Our partnership will provide millions of clinical records to create more robust, accurate diagnostic tools, with the goal of delivering them to clinical providers through the analytics platform and driving more efficient patient care.”

Information-Driven Healthcare with Dell and BizEye Software from MphRx

“Too often information is contained in spreadsheets and not presented in real time. Valuable resources that could be focused on clinical tasks are often retrospectively spent looking at events, costs and benchmarks. By seamlessly capturing clinical data and presenting real-time dashboards, Dell clients can drive higher quality and better team delivery,” Nair said.

With BizEye software from MphRx, Dell now offers a user-driven, cloud-based analytics engine integrated into Dell Cloud Services and Dell Cloud Clinical Archive. The solution provides role-based access to dashboards that drive positive patient experiences, as well as customer and employee satisfaction. BizEye seamlessly captures and indexes clinical data, including metadata, operational data and clinical records data stored as native Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), and customizes the presentation of this information. It supports real-time decision making, driving increased capacity, higher quality and better team delivery.

“Our unique platform, combined with Dell’s expertise in healthcare IT services, will enhance care and efficiency through immediate access to real-time operational and clinical metrics,” said Mahesh Uberoi, CEO of MphRx.
