Orrum and Aridhia Partner to Enable Federated Cardiac Data Research

Orrum Clinical Analytics today announced a strategic partnership with Aridhia to enhance the analytics and benchmarking capabilities of Orrum’s CŌRE Insights™ platform with the power of full data federation.

Designed to address challenges posed by the complexity of data sharing across countries and continents with differing interpretations of privacy concerns, the Aridhia Digital Research Environment provides a decentralised and federated ecosystem whereby data can be analysed remotely without providing direct access to record-level data. Through this collaboration, Orrum will provide linkage to cardiac data from surgical centres from across North America and Europe with further expansions planned.

“The combination of Orrum and Aridhia data architectures will enable international benchmarking, built on real-time, continuous data acquisition and enable the implementation of advanced machine learning and AI algorithms to unpick the complex interactions between the human body and cardiopulmonary bypass physiology”

Said Dr Richard Issitt, Chief Data Science Officer of Orrum. “This collaboration with Aridhia represents a momentous leap forward in our ability to apply the latest techniques in machine learning across the globe, and provide clinicians with advanced, clear insights.”

“We’re delighted to be partnering with colleagues at Orrum. Cardiac surgery centres produce deep longitudinal datasets per patient at points pre, intra and post-surgery creating the opportunity for algorithm development to improve patient outcomes at multiple points in the cardiopulmonary bypass clinical workflow”

Said David Sibbald, CEO of Aridhia. “No single cardiac centre has the necessary quantity or quality of data to undertake those developments by themselves. It requires collaboration and the sharing of data and insights across centres worldwide which brings considerable ethical and legal responsibility in how those data are accessed and used for clinical research and development. The implementation of such a global network requires a fully federated Secure Processing Environment and we’re delighted to be building this with Orrum.”
