Summary

Medaxion has implemented a solution for analytics problems using Looker and SingleStore. The company's CTO, John Toups, states that by combining the ease of presentation and abstraction of Looker with the technical prowess of SingleStore as the database behind Looker, they have achieved simply the best analytics in healthcare. Medaxion has improved the working lives of anesthesiologists by providing them with real-time operational information and enabling predictive analytics. The company's move to SingleStore has resulted in significant performance improvements, including a reduction in time taken for data analysis from 30 minutes to under a minute. With SingleStore, Medaxion can now easily cache large datasets in memory, reducing disk thrashing and improving overall system efficiency. The solution also frees Medaxion from operational overhead while empowering its anesthesiologist users. Medaxion has continued to innovate with SingleStore Helios, an elastic cloud service that provides the advantages of SingleStore without increasing costs. Looking forward, Medaxion is building a huge base of data to be mined and exploring potential for far-reaching change in its data architecture.
