Liaison Technologies Introduces Cloud-based Integration and Data Management Approach for Healthcare and Life Sciences in EU

ATLANTA, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Liaison Technologies, an industry-recognized leader in cloud-based integration and data management offerings, today announced plans to launch its ALLOY Health™ Platform in Europe, bringing the first Data Platform as a Service (dPaaS) solution to the European healthcare and life sciences market.

Offering an entirely new approach to data integration and management, ALLOY Health has already seen substantial adoption among cutting-edge healthcare and life sciences organizations in North America by providing the most efficient, scalable, and secure solution for integrating and harmonizing data from multiple sources.  Now, ALLOY Health is coming to Europe, making it possible for care providers, researchers and pharma organizations to securely access and share up-to-date health records and consumer-generated health data for EU citizens across care networks to improve the quality and timeliness of care and to drive efficiency of research and drug development.

With the digitization of healthcare data—from electronic health records (EHRs) to personal health and fitness monitoring devices—along with the need for reliable and accurate harmonization of disparate data sources across the care continuum for patient tracking and analysis, healthcare and research organizations are clamoring for capable and efficient methods to integrate and manage data to meet the new demands of the modern healthcare paradigm. As pressure mounts to deliver better, more cost-effective value-based care faster, organizations need a data solution that supports the diverse requirements of hospitals, labs, practices, research facilities, and public entities, while enabling them to comply with EU data privacy and other local regulations.

"The European healthcare sector is in transition, and we recognize the growing demand for the sort of approach ALLOY represents," said Liaison CEO Bob Renner. "Data is the critical factor in creating tomorrow's value-based healthcare, and we want to be the technology partner that enables this future together with our customers."

Data across the European healthcare sector is currently dispersed across various legacy systems, creating silos that lead to inefficient care, slowing time to market for new treatments and jeopardizing patient safety. With its data-centric dPaaS approach, ALLOY unifies integration and data management, creating a single, comprehensive, accurate and reliable cloud-based data repository, allowing organizations to tap into and share data across networks and use it in contexts that are meaningful to them.

For example, organizations can create registries around specific patient populations, conduct detailed analysis of treatment protocols or disease management, or manage clinical trials or patient care transitions across provider networks with virtually any application. ALLOY's application agnostic, microservices architecture ensures the fast and seamless addition of new data sources and new applications, allowing providers and researchers to focus on their own domain expertise rather than data janitorial duties.

"Europe's innovative adoption of EHR and development of gene banks and biobanks, particularly in Scandinavia, represents a vast opportunity to use data to improve treatment quality and patient outcomes through personalized medicine and optimal treatment timing," Renner said. "ALLOY Health is the first platform of its kind to enable these new data-driven healthcare initiatives with the infinite scale, resiliency, robust security and compliance that our customers need to succeed in the data-driven future."

Indicative of the demand and market interest for improved healthcare data solutions, Renner has been asked to share his expertise on the dPaaS data-centric approach to Big Data integration and management at two major regional events.

At Upgraded Life Festival in Helsinki, on Tuesday, May 31, Renner will present "Set Healthcare and Life Sciences Data Free with a Data-Centric IT Approach," addressing the potential for unlocking personalized medicine, faster time to market for pharmaceuticals and improving patient outcomes through a data-centric approach to Big Data and IoT.

On Wednesday, June 1, Renner will take the stage at Nordic Health Investment Day in Helsinki to introduce the Liaison and ALLOY story, providing insight into the current and potential growth of the data management sector of the healthcare and life sciences industry.
