Mayo Clinic deployed an NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD with NVIDIA DGX B200 systems to support foundation model development for pathomics, drug discovery and precision medicine. In partnership with Aignostics, Mayo Clinic built the Atlas pathology foundation model, trained on more than 1.2 million histopathology whole-slide images. The new infrastructure is reducing four weeks of pathology slide analysis work to one week.

Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
Mayo Clinic sought to meaningfully improve patient outcomes by detecting disease early enough to intervene, which required advanced compute infrastructure capable of processing the large, high-resolution imaging essential for training AI foundation models in pathomics, drug discovery and precision medicine.
The solution
Mayo Clinic deployed NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD with NVIDIA DGX B200 (Blackwell-powered) systems, collaborating with NVIDIA to support foundation model development for pathomics, drug discovery and precision medicine. In partnership with Aignostics, Mayo Clinic developed the Atlas pathology foundation model, trained on more than 1.2 million histopathology whole-slide images, building on Mayo's platform data of over 20 million digitized pathology slides.
Reported business value
The Blackwell infrastructure is reducing four weeks of pathology slide analysis and foundation model development work to just one week. With the Atlas foundation model, Mayo Clinic clinicians and researchers can improve accuracy and reduce administrative tasks.

Novo Nordisk builds AI drug discovery platform on Azure with Microsoft Research
Novo Nordisk partnered with Microsoft Research to build an AI platform on Azure AI and data stacks spanning regulatory affairs, early research, drug discovery and trial design, using Azure OpenAI Service, Azure Cosmos DB and Azure Kubernetes Service, with Power BI and Power Apps for collaboration. The platform includes a copilot for researchers, shared reasoning-chain templates, and governance/auditing of how data and models are used. The teams published early results on predictive AI models for cardiovascular disease risk detection, including an algorithm that Novo Nordisk says predicts patients' cardiovascular risk better than the best clinical standards, drawing on more than 100 years of insulin research data.

BAYADA Home Health Care is consolidating three separate legacy data platforms (multiple practice management systems, an on-prem ODS, and Snowflake) and 65+ enterprise data sources into a single Databricks Lakehouse under its Data Modernization program, using medallion tiers, Lakeflow Jobs, Asset Bundles, and Unity Catalog governance. As part of the migration, BAYADA uses an LLM-powered code converter and Databricks Assistant to automate SQL and stored-procedure translation, and applies a machine learning-based data mastering accelerator to create golden Client, Payor, Candidate, and Referrer records. BAYADA reports roughly 30% better workload performance and cost efficiency versus its prior Snowflake environment, and is laying a governed foundation for AI agents supporting payroll validation, compliance monitoring, and operational insights, separately from its roadmap for AI-assisted chart review and risk prediction.

CDPHP modernizes infrastructure and improves medical data extraction with AWS AI/ML
CDPHP, a not-for-profit health plan serving 400,000 members in Upstate New York, used AWS services including Amazon Comprehend Medical, Amazon Textract, and Amazon SageMaker to automate its data processing pipeline for unstructured medical records and health data. The organization processed over seven million records during initial migration and now processes 3,000 electronic health records weekly. CDPHP achieved a 60% improvement in overall efficiency and reduced HEDIS report generation from 4-5 days (three data scientists) to two reports produced daily.
