etc ). Think of the value-added service you could provide to that patient .
“ The world is moving to cloud-based advocation and our customers notice that our database is built for the cloud which enables them to run their data on whatever cloud platform they like – AWS , Google , Azure . And it can be seamlessly managed with what they see as data autonomy , so they are no longer restricted in how they choose to manage their data . We ’ re proud of the way we can offer that in the hybrid cloud environment we work in .”
Could you highlight a recent win for DataStax in healthcare ? “ We secured Babylon Health as a customer in December last year . Based in the UK , it ’ s a real disruptor in the marketplace . We ’ re seeing the implementation of AI across many industries and they ’ re using the Graph Database to link up different data streams and provide a service in real time . In the healthcare space they ’ ve been able to develop applications using chat bots , based on AI , that deliver critical services to patients with an always on capability .
The amount of data Babylon are processing is incredible , and yet with just over 1.5mn members it is relatively small and not yet a tier 1 health provider . It manages lots of data types from text to video and , with the kind of innovation we ’ ve seen with Airbnb , that will allow them to disrupt further and be highly successful . DataStax is also working with Healthcare Anywhere . They offer all-in-one telemedicine that takes you beyond video with convenient appointment scheduling , automatic reminders to patients , revenue cycle management , automatic patient payments , tracking patient trends , and marketing to help grow a practice .”
What are your predictions for how the industry will further its use of IoT to provide services and treatment for patients ? “ We ’ re going to see more services which can be consolidated into your health app for a single view of everything from your dental care to physio . The customer experience will be dramatically enhanced by the speedier delivery of services because we ’ ll be doing less in-person visits to doctor ’ s surgeries
