The health care industry is ripe for transformation. For too long, health care has been reactive, inconvenient, unaffordable and inaccessible. Mayo Clinic Platform has emerged as a key driver in creating the next generation of health care at Mayo Clinic and beyond. Through Mayo Clinic Platform, we are embracing innovations in data and digital technologies to advance health care by leaps and bounds – and provide patient-centered solutions in ways that only Mayo Clinic can.
