AIHPC Introduces Open AI Healthcare Platform at Equinix ...
Equinix, Inc., the world’s digital infrastructure company®, has partnered with AiHPC to launch Orchestration AI (OrchAI), an open AI healthcare and life sciences platform on Platform Equinix®. This collaboration is designed to accelerate healthcare and life sciences R&D, clinical trials, and the application of advanced biomedical technologies in Hong Kong, attracting top innovative enterprises and research organizations worldwide to establish operations in the city.
Addressing Industry Challenges
Medical research institutions are increasingly investing in AI and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure to overcome computational power bottlenecks and data exchange limits for complex analyses. In research-intensive regions like Hong Kong, where AI is expected to reach US$1.03bn in 2025 and $3.43 billion by 2030, stakeholders often struggle with managing large-scale data operations and implementing AI solutions efficiently.
OrchAI, integrated on Platform Equinix with a comprehensive global healthcare and life sciences ecosystem, connects local and overseas hospitals, research, and medical institutions. This fosters accelerated research processes and collaboration by bridging technological gaps and optimizing resource allocation.
Benefits of OrchAI
OrchAI provides end-to-end digital services such as high-performance computing acceleration, data orchestration and manipulation, and edge solution deployment. Research, medical institutions, and tertiary institutes can leverage OrchAI to enhance their operations and optimize workflow processes.
Healthcare and life sciences institutions can also benefit from direct connectivity to a diverse ecosystem of cloud service providers through Equinix Internet Access and Equinix Fabric®. This streamlined data exchange process enables hospitals and medical institutions to efficiently share data across multiple cloud environments.
Enhanced Connectivity Infrastructure
After deploying OrchAI on Platform Equinix, upload speeds to AWS Cloud in Hong Kong or Singapore via Equinix Internet Access have improved significantly. The upload speed is now over 90% faster compared to the public internet, enhancing data scalability and ensuring secure data handling to drive innovation in medical research and clinical trials.
Driving Innovation in Healthcare
This collaborative effort aims to accelerate the transition from research to market for innovative healthcare solutions. By leveraging AI-powered technologies, the goal is to strengthen Hong Kong’s position as a vital connector in the Asia-Pacific region, attracting key healthcare stakeholders from the Greater Bay Area and across the Asia-Pacific region to engage in groundbreaking medical research in Hong Kong.
Dr. Sam Chu, Founder of AiHPC, stated, “The challenges presented by Hong Kong’s aging population and its journey to becoming a global health and medical innovation hub underscore the need for new healthcare solutions. Our goal of establishing Hong Kong’s first integrated AI and HPC ecosystem is to facilitate academic research, healthcare implementation, and cross-border collaboration between Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area, and globally.”
Joanne Hon, Managing Director of Hong Kong at Equinix, commented, “Our collaboration with AiHPC underlines our commitment to advancing digital capabilities in the healthcare industry. This partnership empowers institutions to address complex healthcare challenges boldly, positioning Hong Kong as a global healthcare and life sciences innovation hub.”
