Meet Hyperion: An Award-Winning Enterprise Level Data Integration Platform

The foundation of the team’s healthcare technology initiatives is our custom enterprise level data integration platform called “Hyperion”. Hyperion consists of real-time healthcare data interoperability with integrated data management capabilities including a federated data warehouse, server infrastructure, interfacing, data governance, ticketing, data dictionary, and analytics platforms. Our built-in security architecture provides the confidence required for maintaining healthcare data security and privacy.

Hyperion technology is based on open-source languages, including Python/Flask and JavaScript, incorporates AI, LLM, and machine learning models, and includes foundational AI architecture designed to scale across our technology suite. With >130 internal and external data sources, and over 700 data tables, our custom Hyperion Common Data Model provides data harmonization ensuring accurate and reliable reporting and analytics.

Our mission is to provide healthcare data interoperability, accessibility, and analytics with the following mission-oriented goals.

Lower the Skill Floor: Reduce the number of high-level developers, interface programmers, and technical support staff needed to run and maintain a complex system.

Reduce the Cost of Technology: Significantly reduce the need for extremely expensive software solutions and personnel.
Efficient Sandboxing and Analytics: Reduce the technical burden of analytics by providing validated and curated datasets and dashboards. Also allow for research sandboxes with single button clicks following comprehensive security protocols.
Integrate Data Governance and Ticketing: Ensure that strict data governance guidelines are following by integrating data governance into the platform itself.
Changing technological team structure: Flatten the decisional hierarchy and implement a transdisciplinary team approach to optimize functioning and increase development speed, simulating the pace of industry teams.

New Release

MARTHA

Martha is our cutting-edge genetic suite designed to seamlessly integrate genetic testing data from both external partners and our internal resources into our existing platforms. Each outside genetic vendor has a different way of handling data, naming data, and structuring data. This means that our developers had to write complex code and then combine it further with our EHR data which does not follow any specific standard and doesn't match back to the external labs. This app does it all in real time with no human intervention. As results get completed, there are interfaces with external and internal partners to automatically curate the data and feed our systems.

CANVAS: Snapshot Geospatial Analysis

The Cancer Visual Analytic System revolutionizes the way healthcare professionals analyze data, offering the capacity to juxtapose multiple maps side by side for comprehensive and detailed comparisons. Imagine the potential of comparing lung cancer mortality rates with incidence rates, or juxtaposing population data with household incomes, poverty rates, and a myriad of other socioeconomic indicators. Snapshot is not just a tool, it's a window into a world of insights waiting to be discovered.
