Partners HealthCare and EMC are collaborating to develop what they call The Partners Data Lake, a data and analytics platform to drive clinical research, improve care delivery and reduce costs. 

The Partners Data Lake seeks to accelerate clinically relevant research developed across the Partners HealthCare system into the clinical setting. Insights from the Partners Data Lake will be used to inform medical science, make research more efficient, improve diagnosis and treatment of disease and make healthcare more cost effective, according to a release.

The EMC federation of strategically aligned businesses is charged with developing products for the Partners Data Lake.

“Realizing the vision of big science that is delivered from our extensive research and clinical development efforts, from basic research to cancer genomics, requires new technology collaboration. The Partners Data Lake offers us the chance to lead the world in novel treatments and diagnostics,” said Shawn Murphy, MD, corporate director of research IS and computing at Partners, in a statement.
