𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗙𝘂𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻, 𝗣𝗵𝗗, Buck Institute for Research on Aging: "Understanding how and why we age is one of the most complex challenges in modern medicine," said Dr. David Furman, PhD, Buck Institute for Research on Aging. "Having the right solution and accessible patient data to aid in the study, discovery, and measurement of health span is essential. Oracle Life Sciences Data Intelligence, together with the depth and breadth of its real-world data, will enable us to begin to link early clinical signals and long-term outcomes. We hope to fundamentally change how to predict, delay, and address age-related decline." 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗮 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences: "Buck Institute is helping lead one of the most ambitious efforts to transform research on aging into a predictive science, and Oracle is proud to provide the data and analytics foundation to accelerate this work," said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. "By combining advanced AI-driven analytics with one of the industry's largest collections of de-identified longitudinal real-world health data, our solution can help researchers uncover earlier signals of age-related decline. This collaboration could reshape how we understand aging, and how to aid early intervention research to help people live healthier, longer lives."
