Healthcare software company Orion Health and healthcare artificial intelligence (AI) research and development company Pieces have partnered to improve healthcare by providing doctors and caregivers with an AI solution based on local healthcare data.

The collaboration combines Orion Health’s Orchestral Health Intelligence Platform (HIP) and Pieces’ leading AI technology, called Pieces, to develop an AI solution.

Together, they provide real-time, AI-generated patient summaries based on all available data, helping doctors to stay informed about their patients.

In addition, they offer access to a wide range of healthcare data, beyond electronic health records, providing healthcare professionals with a complete patient overview.

Orion Health CEO Brad Porter said: “There is huge potential in combining the expertise and technologies of our two organisations to create even greater value for health systems across the US and fast track our ambition to reimagine the healthcare experience of Americans.”

Orion Health’s Orchestral Health Intelligence Platform (HIP) collects and analyses patient data from various healthcare settings, helping doctors to make data-driven decisions to improve patient care.

Pieces Technologies offers AI methods and tools for healthcare to auto-generate patient summaries and clinical insights to reduce the workload for healthcare teams.

Commenting on the alliance, Pieces CEO Ruben Amarasingham said: “Partnering with Orion Health allows us to bring our tools to more frontline caregivers around the country and, given Orion’s global network, around the world as well.

“We are excited to partner with a company whose mission, model, and purpose so closely align with ours.”

Orion Health works to improve healthcare using digital tools and data while Pieces specialises in healthcare AI, using AI to support healthcare teams and improve patient outcomes.
