Oracle Health, Cleveland Clinic and G42 have teamed up to develop an artificial intelligence-based healthcare delivery platform that seeks to improve care and public health management.
It will do so, the organizations said, by utilizing AI. The national data analytics and intelligent clinical applications will create care models described as "secure, scalable and accessible."
The platform will serve as the foundation for an AI-driven healthcare hub, combining Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle AI Data Platform and Oracle Health with Cleveland Clinic's clinical expertise and G42's capabilities in sovereign AI infrastructure, health data integration and advanced clinical AI models.
It will roll out first in the U.S. and United Arab Emirates before being scaled globally.
WHAT'S THE IMPACT
Fully AI-enabled health systems will continually analyze population and public health data in real time, which is expected to provide practitioners with clinical intelligence at the point of care, as well as deeper insights into the well-being of populations at scale, and the factors that may be contributing to disease progression.
By giving clinical and operational executives more data, analyses and predictive capabilities, the organizations anticipate the platform will help improve care quality while driving down costs.
The organizations describe the platform as "rooted in data privacy, clinical quality and operational efficiency," and say the collaboration will help remove silos between clinical research and clinical care. Providers will be able to more easily identify clinical trial candidates and enroll them in appropriate studies at the point of care, they said, and researchers will be able to access invaluable real-world data to detect opportunities for therapeutic intervention.
"This venture represents a bold leap forward in our collective mission to transform how healthcare is delivered," said Dr. Tom Mihaljevic, president and CEO, and Morton Mandel, CEO chair of Cleveland Clinic. "An AI-enabled model of care could positively impact global health systems – a flagship example of how data-driven, tech-powered healthcare can deliver better outcomes, lower costs, and expand access worldwide."
THE LARGER TREND
Cleveland Clinic and G42 announced a partnership in April geared toward driving AI-powered advancements in healthcare, both in the U.S. and globally.
As part of the collaboration, Cleveland Clinic and G42 will explore and implement AI-driven healthcare initiatives they think have the potential to enhance medical innovation and drive operational efficiencies.
In the U.S., physicians are warming to the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare. The American Medical Association surveyed physicians in February, finding about 35% of them expressed more enthusiasm than concern – up from the 30% who felt the same last year. The portion of physicians whose concerns exceeded their enthusiasm for health AI decreased to 25% in 2024 from 29% in 2023, and about two in five physicians remain equally excited and concerned about health AI, with almost no change between 2023 and 2024.
In particular, physicians are increasingly intrigued by AI's power as a clinical assistant and in its potential to reduce administrative burdens, enhance diagnostic accuracy and personalize treatments.
