Microsoft, Ohio State University Partner to Develop 'Smart' Hospital Model
By Chris Wack
Microsoft said it entered into a five-year strategic partnership with Ohio State University using Microsoft's AI and cloud technology at Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center.
The technology company said Tuesday it and Wexner Medical Center are co-developing a smart hospital model, modernizing clinical and research applications and workloads through the cloud, building a more unified data foundation, and using AI to support care teams.
Over the next five years, Ohio State and Microsoft will continue to identify and advance new opportunities as healthcare, technology and patient needs evolve.
The partnership will focus on co-developing a smart hospital of the future. Ohio State and Microsoft will advance a smart hospital model designed to connect facility, operational and clinical-support systems so technology can help care environments become more adaptive, efficient and responsive.
The partners will also apply AI to support clinicians, care teams and researchers to reduce administrative burden and support collaboration. The organizations are also exploring AI-supported tumor-board workflows that could bring pathology, imaging, genomics and clinical history into a more coordinated view.
