Victoria’s South West Alliance of Rural Health (SWARH) and Geelong-based Barwon Health plan to roll out InterSystems’ IRIS for Health data platform to create a real-time analytics repository supporting AI and machine learning, and business and clinical intelligence.

IRIS for Health will provide a single platform for the two health services, which each support different IT environments, and enable the organisations to capture data from HL7 and other messages to create a real-time health data lake.
