EarlyBirds’ open innovation platform can trigger data-centric healthcare transformations - Kalkine Media

Highlights

• EarlyBirds' Challenger Program can be availed by healthcare executives to work out one technical challenge at a time
• Governments across the world are encouraging innovation in the healthcare sector through investments and awards
• EarlyBirds' ecosystem brings healthcare executives and subject matter experts closer to innovators in medical science

Data science can benefit the healthcare sector by enabling medical research and new discoveries is an unanimously acceptable truth. This is one reason why many countries across the world have undertaken initiatives to promote new innovations with a view to working out problems in health and social care. EarlyBirds, an OSINT (open source intelligence) platform, cites the examples of the UK and Australia where governments have announced awards and investments to foster medical research and innovation.

EarlyBirds' open ecosystem is designed to enable governments and private organisations quickly find result-driven innovations and adopt them to modernise the way data is collected and analysed by the healthcare industry.

Healthcare and data science

Data science and new tools including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can enable a deeper look into seemingly routine health data. EarlyBirds is of the view that the healthcare industry is no different than most others that have arrived at the same conclusion and have vigorously begun modernising their processes. A large number of sensors used in medical care and innumerable combinations of medications used to fetch the best results in patients produce a "treasure trove", EarlyBirds asserts.

The platform further states that this treasure can be mined for new discoveries. In the UK, the AI Award has been launched by the NHS AI Lab to promote innovations in medical care. The Australian government also announced a multi-million-dollar investment in medical research and innovation a couple of years back.

EarlyBirds and healthcare

The platform can be leveraged by healthcare providers, both governments and private sector participants, to modernise the process of data collection and its analysis. Data-centric programs can be created, and EarlyBirds' ecosystem can help achieve both strategic and tactical considerations.

By allowing easy mapping of core technologies and solutions, thanks to EarlyBirds' dynamic innovation maps, the platform works to give strategic solutions, and through its Challenger Program, which is aimed to work out one technical problem at a time in weeks rather than months, EarlyBirds works at the tactical level. EarlyBirds asserts that it has productive and cutting-edge innovations that can be adopted by global healthcare industry executives to trigger a data-centric transformation in processes.
