Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) shares are soaring in premarket trading on Tuesday after the company announced a significant multi-year, multi-million dollar contract with Nebraska Medicine. This partnership marks a major step forward in Palantir’s mission to revolutionize healthcare through the power of artificial intelligence (AI).
Under the terms of the agreement, Palantir will deploy its advanced Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) to enhance various facets of healthcare operations at Nebraska Medicine. This includes optimizing patient flow, ensuring efficient nurse allocation, streamlining clinical supply management, and improving revenue cycle optimization.
The collaboration between Palantir and Nebraska Medicine is not new. The two entities have been working together since January 2024, driven by a shared goal to swiftly address critical healthcare challenges. This latest contract represents a significant expansion of their partnership.
The partnership will also involve expanding Nebraska’s Foundry Ontology, a crucial data framework, and exploring new avenues for clinical research and patient care. The ultimate aim is to improve patient outcomes through the application of innovative AI solutions.
Drew Goldstein, Co-Head of Healthcare at Palantir, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “Their swift commitment to this enterprise partnership highlights our shared focus on rapidly delivering value and driving impactful outcomes to enhance patient care.”
Michael Ash, Nebraska Medicine’s president and chief operating officer, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the transformative potential of Palantir’s technology. He said, “The technology allows our staff to work smarter, and for more of our patients to leave the hospital as soon as they’re able. Most exciting for us – this is just the beginning of the innovations we’ll discover together and lead the way for other hospitals.”
This news comes on the heels of Palantir’s recent recognition as a leader in AI and machine learning (ML) platforms. Furthermore, the company recently announced a strategic partnership with Sompo, a major Japanese insurance company, to enhance AI-driven solutions.
Investors interested in gaining exposure to Palantir can consider investing in the REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF (AIPI) and the Spinnaker ETF Series Tuttle Capital Self Defense Index ETF (GUNZ).
