Orion Health has partnered with the Waitemata District Health Board, the University of Auckland and the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment to launch what is thought to be one of the largest public-private research programs investigating the potential of health IT in New Zealand's history.
The NZ government will commit $14 million over seven years to the Precision Driven Health research program, with industry and end-users committing another $23.8 million. Orion Health founder and CEO Ian McCrae is also chipping in some money personally.
