Case Study: Athena Breast Health Network achieves more secure, efficient breast health data sharing with Apigee

Improving healthcare research with a digital engagement platform

Athena Breast Health Network, a collaboration of University of California breast cancer experts and researchers, needed a more secure and convenient way to manage mammogram data for its virtual WISDOM Study and to improve recruitment, retention, and patient access to records. The organization selected Mammosphere on Google Cloud Platform, from Apigee-related Google Cloud services mentioned in the case, to support its personalized breast cancer screening research and reduce reliance on faxed records.

Apigee helped enable the solution through the platform’s API and cloud capabilities behind Mammosphere, which let participants request and share breast health records online. The result was a more secure, efficient, and user-friendly experience that supported study participation, with 18K+ women joining the WISDOM Study; it also positioned Athena Breast Health Network to scale toward its goal of 100,000 participants while improving future breast cancer screening and outcomes.
