A new partnership makes it easier
for InterSystems customers
to integrate insights from
DataRobot’s enterprise AI platform
into their healthcare applications.
DATAROBOT AND INTERSYSTEMS
PARTNER TO ACCELERATE
AI ADOPTION IN HEALTHCARE
InterSystems, a global leader in
Information Technology platforms
for health, business and government
applications, and DataRobot, a leader
in enterprise AI, have announced their
partnership to accelerate the application of
AI in healthcare.
The partnership makes it easier for
InterSystems customers to integrate
predictions and insights from DataRobot’s
enterprise AI platform into their healthcare
applications by means of an integration and
reseller agreement.
Henry Adams, Country Manager of
InterSystems in South Africa, said: “The
DataRobot enterprise AI platform enables
automation throughout the lifecycle of AI,
accelerating and streamlining every step
of the user’s journey – merely from data
to providing a form of value. Thanks to this
partnership, the enterprise AI platform
will be integrated with InterSystems IRIS
data platform and InterSystems for Health,
the world’s first and only data platform
engineered to extract value from the
healthcare data available.”
“Healthcare is the cornerstone for
disruption in ways that benefit patients,
providers and payers and AI represents the
next frontier,” said Adams. “Our partnership
with InterSystems makes it much easier
for users to leverage the power of AI to
deliver high-quality care, improve patient
experience, outcomes and importantly
reducing the cost of care upon maximising
AI efficiencies.”
DataRobot’s enterprise AI platform
will augment InterSystems’ IntegratedML,
a capability that gives developers access
to AutoML capabilities directly from SQL.
This allows InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for
Health customers to embed predictions
within their existing applications in an
intuitive, scalable manner.
InterSystems’ technology simplifies the
data acquisition and other ‘data wrangling’
while DataRobot’s technology simplifies the
entire AI process from feature engineering
and modeling to deployment and
monitoring. This will accelerate the delivery
and time to value of ML/AI capabilities in
real-time decisioning applications.
Globally, the ball is already
in motion
It has been reported that not only is
InterSystems focused on the 800,000
patients overseas, but also on turning
data into insights that can help advance
healthcare nationwide and around the world.
This has not only been a revolutionary,
valuable change to the day-to-day running
of the hospital but it is set to put even
more powerful tools in the hands of our
development staff to create cuttingedge
healthcare solutions. This change is
widespread and not only impacts healthcare
patients but doctors and healthcare
practitioners that operate the equipment
and make the clinics run as they should.
One can only begin to imagine the vast
impact this could have on a developing
country such as our own, where the need
for healthcare is on the rise with increased
pressure on the system at current and
never declines. •
