Leidos, Virginia Tech partner on big data, EHR research initiative

Leidos and Virginia Tech in Blacksburg are collaborating on a student-conducted scientific research initiative.

The research will focus on the challenge of big data and EHRs in healthcare. Leidos and Virginia Tech will use data from hospitals and physicians to find strategies for improving healthcare quality and reducing costs.

"Through the partnership with Virginia Tech, Leidos will receive valuable insight that we expect to benefit our federal and commercial health customers.  We're also excited to facilitate the opportunity for Virginia Tech students to conduct research on the project and glean useful, hands-on experience with data," said S. Gulu Gambhir, Leidos chief technology officer.
