Building an enterprise platform for digital health companies to perform compliant machine learning
FY 2021-22 · 2021-09-01
Summary
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.

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).

Description (French)
La plateforme MedStack Control est actuellement optimisée pour l'exécution d'applications Web qui s'intègrent à des services et des API externes. En écoutant nos clients actuels et potentiels et en réalisant des études de marché, nous avons constaté un besoin du marché pour l'apprentissage machine, conforme à la confidentialité sur des ensembles de données contenant des informations médicales protégées (IMP). Nous avons constaté qu'Amazon Web Services (AWS) offre les meilleures ressources d'apprentissage machine de sa catégorie, lesquelles maximisent les performances et les économies grâce à leur configuration de GPU Nvidia. MedStack Control s'appuiera sur un orchestrateur pour gérer l'infrastructure et les charges de travail déployées dans les environnements en nuage. Nos recherches nous amènent à penser que Kubernetes est un orchestrateur approprié.
