The public health crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic has exposed communication and technical challenges that require solutions. Providers, payers, pharmaceutical companies, and patients need fast and easy access to medical data, more personalized care, and best-in-class data security across devices to prevent cyber attacks and data theft. The Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare aims to provide these healthcare stakeholders with an infrastructure to work together and solve the challenges they face.
A new e-book from Microsoft, Reimagining healthcare, Highlighting how its cloud computing platform supports healthcare and life science organizations in a series of case studies. They illustrate how the Microsoft Healthcare Cloud enables personalized care through a more connected digital infrastructure, accelerates scientific innovation, supports remote care team collaboration, and improves clinical and operational insights.
For example, UCLA Health Rely on Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare to synthesize large amounts of clinical and research data to accelerate medical discovery and improve patient care. By allowing researchers from different fields and institutions to collaborate, they can jointly assemble data sets that could not be integrated before to solve some of the world’s largest healthcare problems—while still protecting the privacy and security of the data itself.
Big data analysis is another function of Microsoft Cloud. In response to the supply chain challenge of maintaining temperature-sensitive vaccines during transportation, Merck Analyzed 14 years of sensor data to determine the factors that may cause unexpected temperature increases. This analysis paved the way for the portal to predict temperature changes, thereby improving the quality of vaccine shipments.
