Business Wire has recently reported on Vizient, Inc. announcing the formation of Ediom, LLC, a cognitive computing and data science company solely focused on the needs of health care. Vizient formed this new company with Anita Pramoda, founder of Owned Outcomes, Inc. and former Chief Financial Officer at Epic Systems. Ediom will utilize its proprietary cognitive computing platform to provide software and analytic solutions for Big Health Data challenges across the provider, supplier, and payor end markets.

“The health care industry is creating data at an unprecedented rate, yet there is a need by all health care stakeholders to personalize that data,” said Pramoda, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ediom. “Providers treat one patient at a time and we must do the same by developing software solutions that can search through mountains of data and find what is uniquely impactful to each patient.”

“Our members are looking for ways to deliver targeted, personalized care to their patients, which means they need the ability to better harness the power of cognitive computing and advanced data science,” said Bharat Sundaram, Vizient president, analytics and advisory services. “Integrating Ediom’s capabilities into our analytics platforms will enable us to address these needs. This is a perfect complement to our existing data and analytics offerings and a natural progression of Vizient’s commitment to its membership.”
