Empowering a Global Medtech Leader with Data to Accelerate Patient Recovery
With a promise of enabling everyone to live their lives to the fullest, Persistent believes in the power of technology to redefine healthcare. When a global healthcare and MedTech leader needed a robust solution to manage and integrate patient data to respond to inquiries more quickly, we helped the provider build a cloud-based data integration platform using Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Snowflake to offer personalised solutions for improving the quality of care.
Our client, on a relentless mission to deliver positive patient outcomes, needed to integrate data from multiple sources. The company's existing system was fragmented, causing delays and inaccuracies in data processing, ultimately impacting its ability to respond to customer needs better and faster. The healthcare major required a robust solution to centralise and manage its data efficiently.
As an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner, we worked with the client organisation to set up an AWS-based Snowflake environment to facilitate the intake, consolidation, and transfer of data inputs from multiple source systems. AWS provided the foundation for seamless data processing, while Snowflake offered a scalable platform for data integration.
We designed a data pipeline to enable a consolidated view of required data to better forecast demand based on advanced surgery scheduling. We also ensured that the centralised data warehouse was capable of handling large volumes of diverse data in real time.

By eliminating manual consolidation efforts with automated data inputs, the client significantly enhanced productivity. The timely access to accurate, critical surgical case data not only improved forecasting but also accelerated surgical lead times. Real-time access to patient information empowered the healthcare company to provide quicker and more personalised responses to customer inquiries, directly benefiting the health and well-being of hundreds around the world.
Elevating Care and Improving Patient Outcomes with Data and Cloud
Working with 18 network hospitals, 7,000 doctors and 500+ patient care locations, the hospital system needed a rigorous solution to aggregate, analyse, and benchmark patient care data from multiple sources.
