Google Cloud and Coviant Software Join Forces for Automating Healthcare Data Transfer and Processing - Imaging Technology News

Posted: 04 May 2020 09:42 AM PDT

May 4, 2020 — Coviant Software, a provider of managed file transfer software that provides an easy way to automate, secure, manage, and audit file transfers while maintaining the highest levels of security and compliance, has extended its Diplomat MFT product to support the Google Cloud Healthcare API.  This move follows quickly after the announcement by Google that the Cloud Healthcare API is now generally available, making Coviant Software the first and only MFT vendor to fully support Google Cloud Healthcare API for data exchange.

The Google Cloud Healthcare API provides a suite of capabilities designed to enable standardized data exchanges between healthcare applications and solutions built on Google Cloud.  It provides support for FHIR, DICOM, and HL7 data integration, and is fully HIPAA compliant.  Once stored in data sets on the Google Cloud Platform, the healthcare data can be de-identified for privacy, and can be easily integrated into data processing, analytics, and AI on the platform.

Coviant Software Diplomat MFT provides automated, secure file transfers from any endpoint, to any endpoint.  "Diplomat MFT already supports easily transferring data to Google Cloud Storage," said Greg Hoffer, CEO of Coviant Software.  "When we learned that the Google Cloud Healthcare API plays an important role in the management, analytics, and exchange of this important and sensitive data, we quickly extended our solution to make integration into the Google Cloud Healthcare API as simple as ticking a box and filling in a few fields.  Now healthcare customers can leverage the cost savings and security of Google Cloud storage and easily take advantage of the power and flexibility of Google Cloud Healthcare API."

Google reportedly toyed with the idea of acquiring Zoom - Business Insider - Business Insider

Posted: 04 May 2020 09:44 AM PDT

  • Zoom was once so popular inside Google that some engineers weighed the idea of an acquisition in 2018, according to a new report from The Information.
  • At the time, 'several thousand' Google employees were using Zoom instead of Google's own videoconferencing software.
  • Discussions never got more serious, and instead Google and Zoom have gone on to become rivals. Google recently banned use of the Zoom app on employee computers.
  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

The coronavirus has been a boon to videoconferencing startup Zoom, as people have sought out new ways to connect under stay-at-home orders. It's also lit a fire under Google to improve its own video chat product.

But Zoom was once so popular inside Google that some Google Cloud engineers toyed with the idea of acquiring Zoom in 2018, according to The Information.

The report claims that "several thousand" Google employees were using Zoom instead of Google's own Hangouts Meet product at the time.

Discussions of an acquisition reportedly went as far as evaluating a "reasonable" price and calculating the cost of running Zoom on Google's servers. The discussions don't appear to have gone beyond that. According to the report, Zoom was "one of several" companies that Google's engineers were weighing up at the time.

What's more, a spokesperson for Google Cloud told The Information that the company "has never seriously evaluated acquiring Zoom." A spokesperson did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

The report paints a picture of an alternate timeline where Google would now dominate the videoconferencing space. In reality, Google went on compete with Zoom with its own videoconferencing product. But Google's messaging strategy has proven messy and confusing, with a seemingly-endless string of rebrands.

The company has been rolling out updates to its Zoom rival Google Meet, which until recently was known as "Google Hangouts Meet."

The Information also claims that the company has been telling resellers of its service that it is stepping up efforts to compete against Zoom, highlighting Meet's security features as its competitor has faced a flurry of privacy issues.

Business Insider recently reported that Google had banned the Zoom app from employee computers, citing "security vulnerabilities" as the reason, however employees are still allowed to access it via the web browser and use it on their phones.

In the company's Q1 earnings call last week, CEO Sundar Pichai said that Google was adding around 3 million Meet users a day, which is up from the 2 million per day that the company saw in March.

But while Google is still chasing Zoom's lead, Zoom recently walked back its claim of having 300 million active daily users, clarifying that it actually has 300 million daily meeting participants.

HPAPI Drug Manufacturing Trends - Contract Pharma

Highly potent API (HPAPI) drugs make up a growing percentage of the small molecule drug development pipeline and this group of products is growing faster than the overall small molecule segment, 1 largely due to their usefulness in cancer treatments. Many of these drugs have accelerated timelines for approval and commercial development, which can be challenging for drug developers to keep up with. On the front-end, new technologies such as in-silico prediction tools contribute to shortening candidate selection, 2 while Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already brought a first candidate into clinical development. 3 On the back-end, regulatory drug approval timelines are being increasingly shortened: when analyzing drug approvals in 2019, almost three-quarters of drugs approved (71%) were approved under Priority Review. 4 A related trend is increasing competition in the oncology field, with 80% of new IND’s now belonging to small, emerging or virtual biotech companies. 5 These firms o...
