Client challenge
In some matters, timing is everything. A renowned university hospital wanted to harness predictive analytics to get a lead on emerging sepsis symptoms among intensive care unit (ICU) patients.聽
The hospital asked 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 and Google Cloud to execute an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven pilot that could safeguard protected health information, sift real-time patient data for sepsis indicators, and quickly deliver diagnostic insight to clinicians. 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 helped design a purpose-made data configuration and transmission hub, build the hospital鈥檚 AI interface with Google Cloud, and turn concept into operational reality.聽
Once deployed, hospital staff may be able to gain several hours of advance notice before sepsis symptoms typically appear, a head start that may mean the difference between life and death.
The scalable model supports secure streaming of real-time data from a patient鈥檚 ICU bedside through AI-powered research analytics back to the clinicians.
Key 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 initiatives
This highly rated university research hospital has advanced the frontiers of using real-time patient data, predictive analytics in clinical settings, and sepsis diagnosis. Specific benefits include:
1
The delivery time of sepsis insight to clinicians significantly shortened, giving them a potential head start on early treatment.
2
The secure, compliant handling of confidential patient health information in a cloud environment successfully demonstrated.
3
A scalable model in place that can support other use cases based on real-time use of patient data and predictive analytics.
4
Amplified impact for the hospital鈥檚 AI-driven research efforts from synergies between Google Cloud Platform capabilities and 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 domain knowledge and enterprise integration experience.
5
The adaptability of Google Cloud Platform to either initial on-premise data collection or direct-to-cloud collection successfully demonstrated, as a pilot for other use cases.
Business outcomes
乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 worked with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to execute a pioneering healthcare data hub, to secure the privacy of patient health information (PHI) as it streams from a patient鈥檚 ICU bedside through AI-powered research analytics back to clinicians, as a potential tool to reduce sepsis incidence. 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网:
1
Leveraged existing development assets such as the hospital鈥檚 own sepsis AI algorithm and GCP鈥檚 healthcare data storage services鈥擧ealth Level Seven (HL7) and Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)鈥攁s the foundation for its sepsis data hub design and implementation.
2
Used 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 healthcare sector insight to configure PHI data against the hospital鈥檚 own clinical requirements, healthcare research protocols such as institutional review boards (IRBs), HL7 and FHIR data transmission standards, and relevant regulatory frameworks such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
3
Used prebuilt 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 digital integration frameworks and enterprise implementation roadmaps to build, test, and deploy a scalable platform that can be adapted for other scientific use cases which harness patient data, use the GCP analytic services, and deliver real-time provider insights.
