Mayo Clinic goes global with data-sharing network unknown

Mayo Clinic Platform, the data analytics and digital health arm of the Rochester, Minn.-based medical center, is going global and is expanding its reach to Brazil, Canada and Israel.

Brazil-based Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, Israel-based Sheba Medical Center, and Canada-based University Health Network will be joining Mayo Clinic Platform's data-sharing network, Mayo Clinic Platform_Connect, according to a May 5 press release Mayo Clinic shared with Becker's.

The new hospitals join Mayo Clinic and St. Louis-based Mercy and will work together to create AI-based models that can overcome language barriers, use data from global populations across different geographies to improve accuracy, reduce model bias and create more diverse treatment recommendations for patients.

The Mayo Clinic Platform, launched in 2020, aims to use data sharing, analytics, artificial intelligence and other health tech innovations to find diseases earlier.
