My observation of the company Palantir is a positive one. They are at least five years ahead of Microsoft in their software development. The NHS needs their expertise to streamline the NHS bringing all facets of the organization onto one platform. If there is another company that can compare or beat what Palantir has let’s see it.

Thanks for the article. I know Palantir and and neither pro or against them but I am curious to know, who are the other organizations that could provide a UK based solution? Maybe the organization is not UK based but is anyone working on a federated / distributed system that can provide features like Palantir?

Hi – a reader comment that was made against this story was moderated and removed because it was posted purporting to be by someone working for NHS England, who hadn’t posted. We have community rules folks (below) they are pretty simple: play nice, be professional and don’t post anything malicious. Still leaves lots of scope to ask questions, make points or observations. thanks Jon

Agreed, this is primarily focused on the acquisition and sale of Healthcare data and will further erode trust not a good strategy.

People don’t give a damn about data, what they really care is about is their health. If Palantir is effective in assisting hospitals with information that leads to the betterment of UK healthcare system. UK citizens will not oppose it.
