What happens when one of the nation’s top academic medical centers teams up with the leading data and AI platform in the world? You get a blueprint for transforming healthcare — one breakthrough at a time.
For more than three years, Washington University School of Medicine has partnered with Databricks and Databasin to build a modern, AI-ready data infrastructure.
In a candid Q&A, Dr. Philip Payne (Chief Health AI Officer at WashU Medicine and BJC) and Mike Sanky (Global Industry Lead at Databricks) reflect on the impact of this partnership — from uncovering Alzheimer’s “treatment deserts” in St. Louis to accelerating the use of generative AI in hospital admissions.
Here’s a preview:
- Why WashU ditched the traditional data mindset and built a scalable, democratized data fabric.
- How Databricks’ platform architecture is uniquely suited to handle healthcare’s complex and sensitive data.
- Why storytelling with data is the key to creating institutional momentum for responsible AI adoption.
- How Databasin is leading commercialization efforts to bring equity, scalability, and access to more health systems across the country.
This exclusive conversation offers a window into what’s possible when research, technology, and healthcare delivery come together for the common good.
