Evidium utilises Oracle Cloud to scale healthcare AI development

Evidium, a healthcare AI startup, is utilising Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) AI infrastructure to advance its mission of expanding medical knowledge and science through reliable AI. The company is leveraging OCI to support the training and development of numerous AI models essential to its platform.

The healthcare industry faces significant challenges in handling extensive clinical, research, and insurance data while keeping up with the latest clinical and scientific evidence. Despite the potential AI holds to address these challenges, a lack of transparency and the absence of structured data often hinder progress. Evidium addresses these issues using a neurosymbolic AI approach, which blends deep learning and generative AI capabilities with the reasoning and transparency of ontology, knowledge graphs, and symbolic AI.

Evidium’s AI platform aids health systems in providing high-quality, cost-effective care. It also assists health plans in improving predictions about patient outcomes, offering more personalised guidance to its members.

Carl Bate, founder and CEO of Evidium, said, “OCI enables Evidium to achieve the performance required to train and develop our models. As we continue to grow, the scalability and cluster networking provided by OCI allow us to make our neuro symbolic AI technology accessible to healthcare organisations worldwide.”

The platform combines multiple generative and neural models trained on OCI’s AI infrastructure. These models are tailored to convert large quantities of unstructured data from clinical charts, medical guidelines, and research papers into actionable structured data, enabling advanced algorithms. By transitioning from an on-premises server cluster to OCI’s AI infrastructure, Evidium has experienced improved performance, shorter training times, expanded model scale, and faster data processing.

Mahesh Thiagarajan, executive vice president of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, said, “Healthcare organisations face significant challenges in managing complex medical data, often resulting in inefficiencies in decision-making. With OCI AI infrastructure, Evidium has been able to speed up its processing cycles to refine its platform and leverage OCI’s full-stack protection, which is secure by design, to build its safety-first healthcare AI platform.”

According to Evidium, it, along with many other AI startups and enterprises, is building and training models more quickly and reliably thanks to OCI’s purpose-built AI capabilities. OCI Compute virtual machines and bare metal GPU instances support a range of applications, including natural language processing, computer vision, and recommendation systems. Oracle’s dedicated engineering support team collaborates with customers from the planning stages through to launch to ensure their success.

Evidium's partnership with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure illustrates how advanced AI technologies, like neurosymbolic AI, can be effectively applied in the healthcare sector to address complex data challenges. By leveraging OCI's AI infrastructure, Evidium aims to enhance the efficiency and scalability of its platform, supporting healthcare organisations in transforming unstructured data into actionable insights for improved patient care and outcomes.
