Case Study: National Institutes of Health accelerates medical research insights with IBM PureData System for Analytics
A IBM Case Study
Finding cures faster by transforming big data into valuable clinical insight
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) needed to help its scientists analyze vast and growing amounts of clinical research data more quickly to accelerate medical breakthroughs. Their challenge was overcoming system limitations that made it difficult and slow to access and run queries on complex data sets, including large genomic information. To address this, the NIH worked with IBM and implemented the IBM PureData System for Analytics.
The IBM solution supercharged the performance of the NIH's data repository, drastically reducing query times from minutes to seconds. This speed enabled researchers to analyze previously inaccessible data, combining clinical and genomic information to uncover new patterns and research opportunities. The measurable result was a significant acceleration of research, allowing scientists to find treatments faster and ultimately improve public health outcomes.
