Sanford partners with Dandelion Health to create clinical AI products
Sanford Health is partnering with New York startup Dandelion Health in an effort to benefit patients and physicians by using artificial intelligence.
Dandelion Health's new product development platform will use clinical patient data to build AI products that will aid in medical decisions and improving diagnostics and drug development.
Sanford is one of two health systems to partner with Dandelion, the other being Sharp HealthCare in San Diego.
“We believe this collaboration with Dandelion and Sharp will strengthen the ways we are able to deliver care and improve lives," stated Kent Lehr, Sanford's chief business development officer, in the press release.
Dandelion's goal is to reach a total of five health system partners that represent rural and urban populations across the country.
“Sanford Health serves a diverse population across our 250,000 square-mile footprint with two-thirds of our patients living in rural areas," Lehr said. "It is vital that all patients, regardless of where they live, are included in the data as well as have access to modern healthcare."
