Dutch hospital drives AI initiatives on a modern analytics and
data lakehouse to support data-driven decision making and improve
patient care
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced that
Catharina Hospital, the largest hospital in the Netherlands’
Eindhoven region, providing care for over 150,000 patients, has
selected the HPE Ezmeral software portfolio to build a cloud-native
analytics and data lakehouse to provide more accurate diagnosis,
early detection and injury prevention for patients.
Every year, approximately 40,000 patients are diagnosed with
heart failure in the Netherlands. Heart disease can develop without
any noticeable symptoms. Cardiologists hope that artificial
intelligence can significantly contribute to the management of
heart disease and provide better treatment for patients.
“The new data lakehouse that we’ve created using HPE Ezmeral
will enable us to help accelerate model training and detect
cardiogram anomalies among the 500,000 electrocardiograms (ECGs)
already available for data analysis with higher precision and to
identify the correct diagnosis and treatment,” said Thomas Mast
from the cardiology department at Catharina Hospital. “The
development of these algorithms based on artificial intelligence
may deliver more accurate diagnoses and move toward a more
preventative approach to patient care. This may also relieve some
of the pressures on our healthcare system and ensures patient data
remains in the hospital and is not moved to the public cloud.”
Like many other healthcare institutions, Catharina Hospital has
faced tremendous pressure caring for patients throughout COVID-19,
and has focused specifically on making better use of its existing
data, leveraging it to gain insights that can improve patient care
and drive better health outcomes. In order to accomplish this, the
hospital looked to HPE Ezmeral ML Ops and HPE Ezmeral Unified
Analytics to create a single, central data lakehouse to securely
collect and analyze anonymized patient data from disparate sources
across or outside of the hospital and accelerate model
training.
The HPE Ezmeral open-source architecture also allows the
hospital greater choice when selecting software because it can
easily integrate with the HPE Ezmeral platform through the
open-source Kubernetes and the growing number of validated ISV
partners in the HPE GreenLake Marketplace, resulting in faster
time-to-value.
“HPE has been working with the hospital for a number of years to
deliver technology solutions, and we are pleased with the smooth
implementation of HPE Ezmeral to unite its disparate data sources
into a single data lakehouse,” said Clemens Esser, Chief
Technologist at HPE. “With this single, standardized data platform,
the AI and data science teams within the hospital will be able to
truly harness the value of their data and have a direct impact on
improving patient care. The partnership is a common use case
scenario for medical institutions across the world, and illustrates
the strength of data innovations in the medical field.”
Catharina Hospital joins a fast-growing number of enterprises
spanning multiple industries turning to HPE Ezmeral for their
analytics initiatives. The HPE Ezmeral software portfolio is a
purpose-built, hybrid cloud platform for data science and analytics
workloads for enterprises to build and accelerate their modern data
analytics initiatives at scale. It is composed of a complete
orchestrated Kubernetes container platform along with a built-in
data fabric persistent storage layer and ML Ops for data science
workflows. Today, the entire HPE Ezmeral portfolio, HPE Ezmeral
Runtime Enterprise, HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics, HPE Ezmeral ML
Ops, and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric are available to customer
globally, providing frictionless access to data edge to cloud.
