Founder and CEO, Evidium
Evidium, a San Francisco startup, has developed a healthcare AI platform for health systems, clinicians, insurers, and pharma companies that puts reliability, transparency, and safety first. Evidium is collaborating with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to help make their reliable AI technology available to healthcare organizations worldwide.
Enabling generative AI benefits with reliability and transparency
Evidium's platform is designed for healthcare customers that want the potential of generative AI but require the reliability, transparency and safety needed for healthcare applications. The neurosymbolic approach of Evidium allows customers to combine the strengths of deep learning and generative AI with the reasoning, control, and transparency of symbolic AI. Evidium innovations enable customers to make reliable use of structured knowledge, make more informed decisions, apply robust reasoning, and provide clearer explanations, fostering reliability, transparency, and safety. Evidium calls this technology referenced AI.
Addressing urgent needs in healthcare
Evidium has first applied referenced AI to respond to the following urgent customer needs:
Performance for health systems, helping clinicians apply standard of care for patients, and systems to receive appropriate reimbursement, by bringing quality based next-best-actions into the clinical workflow, automating documentation of quality and value-based performance measures, and creating enhanced, actionable reporting.
Prediction for health plans, helping manage financial exposures through enhanced clinical prediction and insight, helping self-insured employers, payers, and insurers manage their planning and capital allocation for high-cost advanced therapies, and helping patients receive the treatment needed.
Knowledge grounded large language models (KG-LLMs) integrated with clinically validated structured knowledge graphs and mathematical models, all with direct line of sight to the underpinning clinical, scientific evidence, and administrative guidelines. KG-LLMs allow for the effective handling of vast, complex medical data while ensuring that the decision-making process remains transparent and comprehensible to healthcare experts.
A flexible platform for the expanding adoption of AI in healthcare
Customers benefit from an AI platform that grows with them to support multiple reliable AI use cases. Unlike siloed or black box solutions, Evidium's solution supports a wide range of reliable AI applications, all built on customer configurable knowledge graphs utilizing Evidium's prepopulated graph, providing fine-grained control.
Selecting OCI to propel Evidium forward
Evidium chose Oracle Cloud to help accelerate the advancement, delivery, and performance of its platform for the following reasons:
The deep engineering engagement that OCI includes in its offering is critical for the Evidium team. It allows them to continue rapid advancement of referenced AI, while offloading managing and optimizing cutting edge compute clusters to OCI's GPU engineering team.
With OCI's rapidly growing global footprint of cloud regions that have a consistent set of services, which includes 49 public cloud regions in 24 countries, Evidium can seamlessly replicate the delivery of its solution built in one cloud region to other regions worldwide. Oracle's planning for healthcare industry requirements for its own globally deployed applications, including utilizing OCI's sovereign cloud regions, can help simplify Evidium's path forward.
As the only major cloud provider to offer bare metal GPU instances, for performance that's free of virtualization overhead, OCI helps deliver unparalleled speed for Evidium. For checkpointing during AI training, OCI instances provide the most local storage per node at 61 TB.
An exciting future ahead
Evidium's roadmap includes multiple use cases on the core referenced AI platform covering clinical decision-making, translational safety, and enhanced knowledge grounded insights for pharma. Evidium's roadmap is building components necessary toward a vision of compliant superintelligence for medicine.
