AHA Precision Medicine Platform Accelerates Medical Breakthroughs
Following five years as the COO of GE Digital, was appointed president of digital solutions at Hitachi Vantara, a data analytics firm in Santa Clara, California. During his tenure, Brad Surak has been instrumental in several major projects, including the creation of the American Heart Association (AHA) Precision Medicine Platform.
Developed in collaboration with research institutes and technology firms, the AHA Precision Medicine Platform was created to accelerate the data analysis processes needed to create individualized treatment protocols. Precision Medicine Platform is a cloud-based data marketplace where researchers can contribute and access data.
Through the Precision Medicine Platform, researchers from around the world can also work together in shared virtual workspaces. This promotes breakthroughs as researchers can always access the latest data and findings. The workspace can also be used privately and shared only between research team members.
The Precision Medicine Platformalso offers onsite analytical tools using machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies that can process massive datasets within hours. The platform is currently being employed to develop effective treatments for cardiac diseases and rapidly produce vaccines.
