Capgemini and MammaCare® Combine Intelligent Technologies to Improve Breast Cancer Screening

The leap from laboratory to clinical classrooms happened when Capgemini’s Strategic Technologies and Applications Team (STAT) offered their assistance. The Capgemini team launched the system into the cloud on their Capgemini Orchestration Management PLatform End to End: “COMPLETE [1], powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). This enabled global reach, making it accessible to all colleges of nursing and medicine and practicing clinicians. The Capgemini and AWS infrastructure is elastic, expanding automatically with demand, and eliminating the need for MammaCare to maintain any IT infrastructure.    

The engineering and scientific expertise of each team was essential in creating, validating and increasing the reach of MammaCare’s skill-based technology according to Dr. Mary Ann Mehn, MammaCare’s Director of Education. “Now, all students and clinicians can rapidly acquire the skills needed to perform competent, quality-standard breast exams” she added. 

Mark Kane Goldstein PhD, MammaCare’s Chairman and Senior Scientist, observed, “When top technology teams from different disciplines work together on a common problem, the results can be amazing.”

Joe Coyle, North America Chief Technology Officer for Capgemini stated, “We at Capgemini are driven to change the way we offer cutting edge technology to the business world. By partnering with MammaCare on such a globally important cause, we are able to participate in a higher goal with a human touch. This is why we are so proud to support MammaCare in helping women across North America.”
