Case Study: American Heart Association achieves a cloud-based Precision Medicine Platform to accelerate cardiovascular research with Hitachi Vantara

AHA Precision Medicine Platform on Cloud

The American Heart Association needed a centralized Precision Medicine Platform to help cardiovascular researchers discover, harmonize and collaborate on vast, disparate research datasets instead of spending time and money searching for or duplicating data. To build and migrate this cloud-based platform, AHA partnered with REAN Cloud, a Hitachi Vantara company, and leveraged Hitachi Vantara’s REAN Deploy and REAN Radar services along with AWS technologies.

Hitachi Vantara’s REAN Cloud team implemented a secure, HIPAA-ready seven-layer VPC and data platform—using REAN Deploy, REAN Radar, Jupyter, EMR, Elasticsearch and a customized Kibana—to ingest, harmonize, index and monitor datasets and provision researcher-specific AWS workspaces. The Hitachi Vantara solution increased dataset visibility and discoverability, improved collaboration, accelerated analysis and reduced duplicated effort, enabling faster, scalable precision cardiovascular research.
