Mayo Clinic Platform Expands Global Footprint of Its Distributed Data Network

"The first-of-its-kind alliance moves into new regions to transform global healthcare and improve access, diagnostics, and treatments for patients everywhere."

So says Mayo Clinic President Gianrico Farrugia in a press release announcing the addition of Seoul National University Hospital in South Korea, SingHealth in Singapore, and UC Davis Health in California to the Mayo Clinic Platforma global network of eight of the world's top health systems.

The release explains that each member of the platform has "deeply de-identified data related to complex and rare health conditions; a wide range of treatments and therapies; and representation from diverse global regions, which is critical to improve accuracy, reduce model bias, and create more diverse, and therefore stronger, treatment recommendations for patients."

"Today's announcement marks a significant milestone for all of us," Farrugia says.

"As we deliver on our goal of transforming healthcare, these partnerships will lead to more innovation, more collaboration, more answers, and more hope for those in need as we continue to build something that has never existed before in healthcare: a platform with truly global reach."
