Building an enterprise platform for digital health companies to perform compliant machine learning

Agreement Number:

978358

Agreement Value:

$195,000.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 1, 2021 - Sep 30, 2022

Description:

The MedStack Control platform is currently optimized for running web-based applications that integrate with external services and APIs. In listening to our existing and potential customers and performing market research, we’ve identified a market need for privacy compliant machine learning machine learning on datasets containing protected health information (PHI). We’ve identified that Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers best-in-class machine learning resources that maximize performance and cost savings given their configuration of Nvidia GPUs. MedStack Control will leverage an orchestrator to manage infrastructure and workloads deployed to cloud environments. Our research leads us to believe that Kubernetes is a suitable orchestrator.
