The Collaborative Cancer Cloud Aims to Enhance Medical Science

Founder of the Healthcare IT Knowledge Network, Mark Tomaino possesses more than two decades of experience in the health-care sector. A senior operating executive for Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, Mark Tomaino is in charge of investments in health-care information technology. In recent news, Intel and Oregon Health & Science announced plans to leverage cloud-based technological advancements by launching the Collaborative Cancer Cloud. An open source system, the application will serve as a precision medicine analytics platform that enables sharing between hospitals and research institutions. This development will securely transfer clinical, patient genomic, imaging, and other information necessary for enhancing patient care. While the intended use early on is for cancer research, the organizations state that the network can easily be leveraged to advance studies on other genetic disorders, such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and autism. As of August 2015, two additional institutions are expected to partake in the system’s development by 2016. Their participation will be vital for growing the patient pool and building awareness among practitioners. In the future, the creators will make the technology available to other organizations to utilize and customize for health-care information purposes.
