LAS VEGAS: At age 78, Oracle's Larry Ellison is still on the job and this time, it is more than just Cloud, as he aims to safeguard humanity from the next pandemic by creating a global electronic health record database that can save millions of lives.
Ellison, Oracle's Chairman and Chief Technology Officer who appeared on stage after two pandemic years at the company's 'CloudWorld' event, emphasised that he has doubled down on his efforts on healthcare, giving Oracle an edge over its rivals with its next generation of healthcare applications.
"We need to automate the entire global healthcare ecosystem. Some of these data can be shared among nations to create a worldwide global public health system. Oracle is going to continue to invest and build health systems, one national and one global," Ellison told the gathering at the event attended by more than 13,000 people here on Tuesday.
The pandemic, which has taken more than 6.5 million lives, has made it clear that the world needs better patient data tracking systems and to do a better job of managing healthcare, especially during a crisis. (IANS)
