Employees

A large US healthcare system operates across dozens of hospitals and clinics, with clinical data trapped in silos and AI initiatives stuck at the pilot stage.

The Problem

Clinical AI stuck in pilots, held back by fragmented data.

Data silos

Clinical, operational and research data lived apart.

Governance gaps

No shared model for sensitive-data access.

Pilot fatigue

AI projects stalled before reaching clinicians.

The Zappsec Solution

A governed Google Cloud data and AI platform.

  1. 1
    Unified data platform

    Clinical, operational and research data unified in BigQuery with governed access.

  2. 2
    Interoperability

    Healthcare interoperability patterns brought data into a common shape.

  3. 3
    Production AI

    Vertex AI pipelines moved models from pilot into clinical use.
